A mismatched base would mean a mutation of the genetic code for the RNA strand. The wrong amino acid would be produced and then the wrong protein. This would result in a defect or maybe a disease or death depending on how many other normal cells are present.

What is micro DNA?
Micro DNA is a segment of DNA that has about 25 base pairs repeated roughly 1000 times.
Why does a probe hybridize to a target gene but not to any other unrelated gene?
Complementary base pairing occurs only between the probe and the target gene.
3 components of DNA?
The three components of DNA are phosphate, deoxyribose sugar, and nitrogen base. A DNA strand looks like a ladder. The "sides" of the ladder are made up by the phosphates and deoxyribose sugars the "steps" are the nitrogen bases.
Why is DNA perfect for carrying hereriditary material?
It has no open spots for molecules to come, bond, and change the content of DNA. Thus, DNA would be harder to mutate and change, unlike other materials, which can be more easily changed. Chances of some sort of mistake in one base of DNA is one to a million.
What pair forms a rung in the DNA ladder?
The base of the nucleotides
How is complementary base pairing different when pairing DNA to DNA than pairing DNA to mrna?
So essentially the difference is that in DNA-DNA base pairs thymine bonds with adenine while in DNA-RNA base pairs thymine bonds to uracil.
What are the correct base-pairing rules of DNA?
The correct base-pairing rules ofr DNA. . .The base pairing rules for DNA areA pairs with TG pairs with CC pairs with GT pairs with A
How are base pairing rules and complementary base pairs related?
Base pairing rules and complementary base rules are related because of DNA. If one can find the base pairing on a strand of DNA, usually the complementary base is easily found.
DNA exhibits base pairing?
Yes
What is a DNA lesion?
DNA Lesions are sites of damage in the base-pairing or structure of DNA.
How is base pairing involved in DNA replication?
i am not sure
Because of base pairing in DNA the percentage of?
hehee
What role does complementary base-pairing play in DNA replication?
The base-pairing during transcription is the same as when DNA replicates, except that RNA has uracil instead of thymine.
How are DNA bases always paired?
The base pairing rule is known as complementary base pairing. In DNA, the following base pairing rules apply: Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G) In RNA, Uracil replaced Thymine so the base pairing rules here become Uracal (U) to Adenine (A).
Which is true of the base pairing seen between two DNA strands?
Complementary
What are the completentary base pairing in a DNA -RNA pairing?
DNA to RNA Cytosine to Guanine Guanine to Cytosine Adenine to Uracil Thymine to Adenine
Which of the following is true regarding complementary base pairing in DNA and RNA molecules?
Although the base pairing between two strands of DNA in a DNA molecule can be thousands to millions of base pairs long, base pairing in an RNA molecule is limited to short stretches of nucleotides in the same molecule or between two RNA molecules.
