Question
watson and crick knew which base pairs paired together. what are the correct pairings? a-u and t-c a-g and t-u t-c and g-g a-t and c-g
In DNA (the structure Watson and Crick studied), adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). Uracil (U) is in RNA, not DNA for these base - pairings in the context of Watson - Crick's DNA model. So the correct pairing is A - T and C - G.
