Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the hereditary matter in cells that makes up the repository for genes. DNA's structure consists of sugar, phosphate groups,and nitrogenous bases in its nucleotides. These bases are cytosine, thymine, adenine, and guanine. Cytosine and thymine are classified as pyrimidines that have a single ring. Adenine and guanine are classified as purines that have a double rings. Adenine base pairs with thymine (uracil only in RNA), and cytosine base pairs with guanine.

The nitrogen bases in a DNA molecule are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. Adenine and guanine belong to a class of compounds called purines, and cytosine and thymine belong to a class of compounds called pyrimidines. In a DNA molecule, the two strands are connecting by hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen bases of each strand. According to the base-pairing rule, the purine adenine always pairs with the pyrimidine thymine, and the purine guanine always pairs with the pyrimidine…
