DNA Bases are complimentary as each base only binds to one other (Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine).
In DNA replication, the term complementary refers to the matching base pairing between nucleotides on the two strands of the DNA double helix. Adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine, creating two identical daughter strands during replication.
The structure of DNA relies on a base-pairing rule. This means that in DNA, Adenine binds to Thymine and Guanine binds to Cytosine. The complementary base is the base that binds to the base in question. Therefore A is complementary to T, C is complementary to G, etc. So if you had a strand of DNA, for example; ATT-CCA-GTC The complementary strand (which would bind to the above) would be; TAA-GGT-CAG
They would be described as being complementary - as in complementary base pairing.
Thymine is the complementary base for adenine during DNA transcription. During RNA transcription, however, uracil is the complementary base for adenine.

Why is complementary base pairing crucial for life?
Guanine is a complementary base for cytosine in DNA.
a complementary number is a number obtained by subtracting a number from its base. For example the complementary of 7 in numbers to base 10 is 3.
They would be described as being complementary - as in complementary base pairing.
Thymine nitrogen base is complementary to Adenine.
Thymine is the complementary base for adenine during DNA transcription. During RNA transcription, however, uracil is the complementary base for adenine.
Complementary base pairing in genetics refers to the specific pairing of nucleotide bases in DNA molecules. Adenine pairs with thymine, and guanine pairs with cytosine. This pairing is essential for DNA replication and the transmission of genetic information.
The complementary base pairs in DNA are adenine (A) with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) with guanine (G).
