base pairing
This term is a specialized technical expression used almost exclusively in molecular biology and genetics. It describes the precise chemical attraction between specific nucleotides, which ensures the accurate replication and transcription of genetic information.
Because it refers to a biological process or a chemical mechanism, it is treated as an uncountable noun. It does not typically take a plural form in scientific literature, as the focus is on the mechanism of pairing rather than individual instances of pairs.
Meanings
Examples
