Under normal circumstances, it is not possible for adenine to pair with guanine or cytosine, nor for any other mismatches to occur. Describe the two factors that prevent a mismatch from occurring:

Factor 1:

Factor 2:

Final answer:

Adenine's size affects proper base pairing in DNA, repair mechanisms prevent mismatches, and complementary base pairs are crucial for DNA stability.


Explanation:

Adenine is larger than cytosine and will not properly base pair with guanine, leading to bulging in DNA. DNA repair enzymes can recognize and replace the incorrect nucleotide to prevent mismatches. The complementary base pairs in DNA, such as A-T and G-C, are held together by hydrogen bonds, ensuring accurate pairing.
