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

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

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.

Answer:

D. A - T and C - G (assuming the last option is labeled D, if the options are labeled as per the order: first option A, second B, third C, fourth D)
