71. The structural stability of a double-stranded RNA virus genome is achieved via Watson-Crick base pairing where

A. A pairs with T; G pairs with C
B. A pairs with U; G pairs with C
✓
C. A pairs with G; U pairs with C
D. U pairs with T; A pairs with C

📝 Explanation

Double-stranded RNA genomes rely on regular hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs, specifically adenine-uracil and guanine-cytosine.

📖 Additional Information

  • A pairs with T; G pairs with C
  • A pairs with U; G pairs with C
  • A pairs with G; U pairs with C
  • U pairs with T; A pairs with C
