Shown here are three possible arrangements for nucleotide bases on the opposite strands of a DNA molecule, or the bases on a strand of DNA and a strand of RNA during transcription. Which of these three represents the normal and expected arrangement, and which ones represent errors that should not normally occur?

A = error (purine-purine pair)
B = error (pyrimidine-pyrimidine pair)
