can anyone explain that why guanine form triple bond with cytosine and tymine form double bond ...But adenine also contain double ring like guanine what is the major reason? i know about becouse of complementary bases is there is any other reason?
A purine (adenine or guanine) has a double ring. A pyrimidine (cytosine or thymine) has a single ring.
In DNA, a purine will bond with a pyrimidine. Depending on the structure, it will for two hydrogen bonds with each other or three. Please watch the video to see how the hydrogen bonds are forming.

The structure is like that. So 3 hydrogen bonds are present. Please see the bond picture in Wikipedia
