The base pairs are ordered such that they spell out the order in which amino acids will be placed to build a protein. When they are in the wrong order, either the wrong amino acid is made, or sometime it will create a shortened protein which may or may not perform its intended function.

What is another name for a group of bases along a DNA molecule?
Base pairs.
What are the ordered base pairs along a gene called?
Guanine and Cytosine, and Thymine and Adenine.
Are AT base pairs or GC base pairs more stable?
A-T base pairs have 2 hydrogen bonds and G-C base pairs have 3 hydrogen bonds. Therefore, A-T base pairs are weaker than G-C base pairs.
What base in RNA pairs with adenine-?
Uracil is the base in RNA that pairs with adenine.
When purine base only pairs with a pyrimidine?
when a purine base only pairs with a pyrimidine
Why is it so important that the order of base pairs stays the same?
The sequence of the nitrogen bases determines the sequence of the amino acids in a protein. The sequence of the amino acids in a protein determines the structure and function of the protein. If there is a change in the order of nitrogen bases, the sequence of amino acids may be altered, and the protein may not be functional, causing a genetic disorder.
