Base pair
(Science: molecular biology) two nitrogenous bases (adenine and thymine or guanine and cytosine) held together by weak bonds.
two strands of dna are held together in the shape of a double helix by the bonds between base pairs.
Base Pair
A base pair is two chemical bases bonded to one another forming a "rung of the DNA ladder." The DNA molecule consists of two strands that wind around each other like a twisted ladder.
Wobble base pair
A wobble base pair is a G-U and I-U / I-A / I-C pair fundamental in RNA secondary structure. It has comparable thermodynamic stability of the Watson-Crick base pair.
Base Pair: Two nitrogenous bases held together by weak bonds. In a DNA molecule adenine always pairs with thymine while cytosine always pairs with guanine. Thus, one DNA strand directs the synthesis of the other strand.
Base pair
A complementary purine and pyrimidine that are hydrogen-bonded to form double-stranded DNA or RNA.
Base substitution mutation
A mutation resulting in the replacement of one base for a different base.
Base pair (bp) The fundamental unit of a double stranded DNA molecule, (more strictly - a nucleotide pair). The base Adenine on one strand is paired with Thymine on the other and Guanine with Cytosine.
Base pair (bp). A pair of complementary nitrogenous bases in a DNA molecule--adenine-thymine and guanine-cytosine. Also, the unit of measurement for DNA sequences.

Complimentary Base Pairing
Each strand serves as a template for the synthesis of a new strand.
Short (200 to 500 base pairs) sequence of genomic DNA that has a single occurrence in the human genome and whose location and base sequence are known.
Within these 35,000 base pairs, one gene named SRY was discovered in 1990 by the team of Peter Goodfellow in London.
base pair a pair of hydrogen-bonded nitrogenous bases (one purine and one pyrimidine) that join the component strands of the DNA double helix.
Annealing Formation of double-stranded molecules from two single strands of nucleic acid by base pairing of complementary sequence. Usually achieved incubation at a favourable temperature.
Distance is measured in base pairs. For the human genome, the lowest-resolution physical map is the banding patterns on the 24 different chromosomes; the highest-resolution map would be the complete nucleotide sequence of the chromosomes.
DNA hybridization (exploiting the fundamental principle of complementary base pairing) studies have been used to reveal the relationships between species that could not be resolved by other means.
The gene for hemophilia is 186,000 base pairs, and has 26 exons separated by 25 introns. Mutations in the gene can be detected by RFLPs.
[4] The human genome has 3 billion base pairs. The average rate of point mutations is about 20-30 in a billion per individual. Almost all point mutations in multi-cellular organisms are strictly neutral.
PatMatch The PatMatch program is used to find short nucleotide (less than 30 base pairs) and amino acid motifs in DNA or amino acid sequences.
5 X 109 base pairs, Drosophila has 1.5 X 108, toads have 3.32 X 109, and salamanders have 8 X 1010 base pairs per haploid genome. Much of the DNA in each cell either has no function or has a function not yet known.

A copy of the genome is found in most cells. Our genome is 3 000 000 000 base pairs, packaged into 23 pairs of chromosomes: bacteria may have only 1,500 000 base pairs in one chromosome. [Talking Glossary] ...
Optimum buffering capacity occurs when the components of the acid-base pair are present at nearly the same concentrations. When they are present in equal amounts, the buffer will resist pH changes in the range of its pKa (acid dissociation constant).
