Wikipedia
Guanine (G, Gua) is one of the four main nucleobases found in the nucleic acids DNA and RNA, the others being adenine, cytosine, and thymine ( uracil in RNA). In DNA, guanine is paired with cytosine. The guanine nucleoside is called guanosine.
With the formula CHNO, guanine is a derivative of purine, consisting of a fused pyrimidine- imidazole ring system with conjugated double bonds. Being unsaturated, the bicyclic molecule is planar.

They represented the nucleotides adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.
The toggle must have been set for DNA mode, since the buttons were displaying the Neanderthal glyphs for adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine.
Or, in other words, a 1 in 4 chance, since there is adenine, guanine, cytocine and uracil in which to fill the proper spot.

Each side of these base pairs can either be an adenine -thymine or a guanine -cytosine bond, and they can be aligned either direction, so there are four choices.
In fact, adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine molecules have quite different structures, and their electron density distributions as seen by a scanning probe microscope are readily distinguished by an experienced eye.
