Complementary base pairing is necessary because it ensures the fidelity of the DNA sequence during replication. Because only one base can pair with only one other, the two daughter strands of DNA made during replication will be the exact same as the original parent strand. If this were not the case DNA replication would result in random DNA sequences.

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.
Which is true of the base pairing seen between two DNA strands?
Complementary
Do complementary base pairing match up with complementary sugars?
yes
What rule is used to join the free nucleotides to the exposed bases of the DNA?
The rule A-T; C-G is a complementary base pair, and is semi-conservative replication. The Hydrogen bonds will always pair in these exact pairs.
Which of the following determines the specificity of a DNA probe?
complementary base pairing-apex
Why is complementary base pairing crucial to replication?
i think it because the DNA replicates

What feature of a DNA molecule ensures accurate replication of the strands during each PCR cycle?
Complementary base pairing
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.
What is the process in which DNA is separated into two strands then produces two new complementary strands following the rules of base pairing?
DNA replication
Which is true of the base pairing seen between two DNA strands?
Complementary
Do complementary base pairing match up with complementary sugars?
yes
How is base pairing involved in DNA replication?
i am not sure
What would the base sequences on the other strand of Dna be?
They would be described as being complementary - as in complementary base pairing.
The processing of making a copy of DNA?
The process of replication. The pairing of bases allows the cells to replicate, or make copies of DNA. Each base always bonds with only one other base. Pairs of bases are complementary to each other, and both sides of a DNA molecule are complementary.DNA replication.
What type bond occur during complementary base pairing?
Hydrogen bonding
