उत्तर

Adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T) through exactly 2 hydrogen bonds. In contrast, guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C) through 3 hydrogen bonds. These hydrogen bonds provide horizontal stability to the double helix while being weak enough to allow strand separation during DNA replication and transcription.
