उत्तर

Guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C) through 3 hydrogen bonds. This is one more hydrogen bond than the A-T pairing (which has 2 hydrogen bonds). The greater number of hydrogen bonds between G and C makes these regions of DNA slightly more stable, which has implications for DNA melting temperature and stability.
