In DNA, Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C) and Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T). In RNA, G still pairs with C but A pairs with U (uracil, which is SUPER close to T in structure). They buddy up the way they do because of H-bonding, and in this video we'll discuss and illustrate why that is the case.
