| base pair |
Formed when complementary nucleotides pair by hydrogen bonding. In DNA, the A nucleotide bonds with T, and G bonds with C. Base pairs form the "rungs" of the DNA ladder and the number of base pairs in a strand can be used to describe the length of DNA.

| bases |
These are molecules with one or two nitrogen containing ring structures. The biologically important bases are the purines Adenine and Guanine and the pyrimidines Cytidine, Thymine, and Uracil. DNA and RNA are composed of linked sequences of nucleotides. In DNA, the purine nucleotides are Adenosine (A) and Guanosine (G); the pyrimidine nucleotides are Thymidine (T) and Cytosine (C). In RNA, the pyrimidine nucleotide Uridine (U) is substituted for Cytosine.

| base metal |
(1) The metal present in the largest proportion in an alloy; brass, for example, is a copper-base alloy. (2) An active metal that readily oxidizes, or that dissolves to form ions. (3) The metal to be brazed, cut, soldered, or welded. (4) After welding, that part of the metal which was not melted.

| bases |
Building blocks of DNA made up of nitrogen and carbon atoms in a ring structure. There are two types of bases: purines (adenine and guanine, known as A and G) and pyrimidines (cytosine and thymine, known as C and T). The bases pair in the DNA double helix, and the order of bases determines the genetic code.
