Intro to Biotechnology
Complementary base pairing is a fundamental principle in molecular biology where specific nucleotide bases pair with one another, following the rules of adenine with thymine (A-T) and guanine with cytosine (G-C) in DNA. This pairing is crucial for the stability of the DNA double helix structure and plays a significant role during DNA replication, ensuring that genetic information is accurately copied and transmitted.
