Also known as bp, pb

unit consisting of two nucleobases bound to each other by hydrogen bonds: either adenine–thymine or guanine–cytosine in natural DNA (additional types occur in RNA)

AI overview

A base pair is two nucleobases (the building blocks of DNA) linked together by chemical bonds, with adenine always pairing with thymine and guanine always pairing with cytosine. Base pairs matter because they form the rungs of DNA's double helix structure and determine how genetic information is stored and copied.
