Here’s a quick Valentine’s Day Funny for everyone, with some fun facts behind the joke!
DNA is typically a double helix with two strands. Contained within the strands are four types of “bases”: adenine, cytosine, thymine, and guanine. Adenine on one strand with always pair up with thymine on the other strand via a hydrogen bond, and cytosine will always pair with guanine on the other strand via a hydrogen bond. This specific hydrogen bond allows the DNA strand to be easily unwound to be read or replicated, and the base pairing rules allow for easy repair of any problems. And the four base pairs act as a four-letter code for genes!
