Adenine pairs with thymine (A-T); guanine pairs with cytosine (G-C)
The mRNA transcribed from the antisense DNA strand is not identical to that DNA strand; it is complementary. -the mRNA has the 'partners' of the bases on the DNA template
(remembering that RNA uses U instead of T)
-it IS identical to the sense strand; therefore, it carries the code for the protein.
-if the DNA says ACC, the mRNA says UGG.
Nucleotides and linked by complementary base pairing.
phosphate groups
Base pairing rules and complementary base rules are related because of DNA. If one can find the base pairing on a strand of DNA, usually the complementary base is easily found.
They would be described as being complementary - as in complementary base pairing.
So essentially the difference is that in DNA-DNA base pairs thymine bonds with adenine while in DNA-RNA base pairs thymine bonds to uracil.
Cytosine is always paired with guanine Adenine is always paired with thymine

Why is complementary base pairing crucial for life?

Complementary
yes

i think it because the DNA replicates
Hydrogen bonding

Complementary base pairing
The base-pairing during transcription is the same as when DNA replicates, except that RNA has uracil instead of thymine.
