Here the pattern is,

3 × 1 = 3,

1 + 3 = 4,

3 × 4 = 12,

4 + 12 = 16,

Similarly, we have:

12 × 16 = 192

The correct answer is Thymine and Cytosine.

Key Points

• The pyrimidines in DNA are C & T. In RNA, U replaces T.

• Cytosine (C) formula is C₄H₅N₃O and Thymine (T) formula is C₅H₆N₂O₂.

Additional Information

• Deoxyribonucleic acid, commonly known as DNA, is the hereditary complex molecule present in humans and almost all other organisms.
• The information in DNA (double helix structure) is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T).
  • DNA has two base pairs, A-T and G-C, attached to a sugar-phosphate backbone.
• DNA is a long molecule that contains our unique genetic code.
  • It holds the instructions for making all the proteins in our bodies and the function of living things.
• In the cell nucleus, the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes.
  • A chromosome (microscopic structure) is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.
  • A chromosome has two arms - a p arm (short arm) and a q arm (long arm), joined in the location of the centromere.

• Watson and Crick Proposed the Double Helix structure of DNA with the two strands connected by hydrogen bonds.

After completing the figure draw bellow

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.

An animal walked 29 m south.

From here it turned right and walked 14 m.

Now it again turned right and walked 18 m.

Now it turned left and walked 27 m.
