DNA Bases are complimentary as each base only binds to one other (Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine).
complimentary For example, if the DNA codon is GCA, the complimentary mRNA codon will be CGU, according to the base pairing rule.
DNA
mRNA makes a complimentary copy of the DNA molecule according to the base-pairing rule.
Not in DNA. In DNA the only base pairs are A-T and C-G. RNA can form non-canonical base pairings, so you might get some AC in RNA structures.

The DNA acts as the genetic material because it acts as a code. The requirements for the complimentary base pairings ensures information doesn't accidentally change during the incredible number of cell divisions that happen each day.
DNA
DNA has A-T and C-G while RNA has A-U and C-G
stupid science stuff
A goes to U and G goes to C. DNA its A=T G=C.

A complimentary codon is one that pairs with another codon according to the base pairing rule. For example, the DNA codon ATG is complimentary to the mRNA codon UAC.
