| base pair |
one of the pairs of chemical bases joined by hydrogen bonds that connect the complementary strands of a DNA molecule or of an RNA molecule that has two strands; the base pairs are adenine with thymine and guanine with cytosine in DNA and adenine with uracil and guanine with cytosine in RNA

| base pairing |
A process involving the linking of the complementary pair of polynucleotide chains of deoxyribonucleic acid by means of hydrogen bonds between the opposite purine and pyrimidine pairs. Stable base pairs form only between adenine and thymine (AT) and guanine and cytosine (GC). In ribonucleic acid, uracil replaces thymine and can form a base pair with adenine.
