Guanine and Cytosine, and Thymine and Adenine.
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.
A set of three base pairs in DNA is called a codon. Each codon codes for a specific amino acid during protein synthesis.
When a purine base pairs with a pyrimidine, it forms a complementary base pair. This pairing is important in the structure of DNA molecules, where adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine through hydrogen bonding, creating the double helix structure of DNA.
This is a basic principle of DNA base pairing called Chargaff's rule. Adenine (purine) pairs with thymine (pyrimidine), while guanine (purine) pairs with cytosine (pyrimidine). This complementary base pairing is essential for the double-stranded structure of DNA.
GC base pairs are more stable than AT base pairs because they have three hydrogen bonds holding them together, while AT base pairs have only two hydrogen bonds. This extra bond in GC pairs makes them stronger and more difficult to break apart.

It's uracil, which replaces thymine in RNA.

In biotechnology, base pairs refer to the complementary pairing of nitrogenous bases in DNA molecules. Adenine pairs with thymine, and guanine pairs with cytosine. Understanding base pairs is crucial for techniques like PCR and DNA sequencing.
The restriction enzyme used cuts the DNA at specific recognition sites, resulting in fragments of various sizes based on the distribution of these sites along the DNA molecule. In this case, the enzyme produced DNA fragments of 4000, 2500, 2000, and 400 base pairs in length after digestion. These specific sizes are a result of the locations of the recognition sites for that particular restriction enzyme along the DNA sequence.
four base pairs
Uracil is the base in RNA that pairs with adenine.
Okazaki fragments are typically around 100-200 base pairs long in prokaryotes and around 1000-2000 base pairs long in eukaryotes.
