To answer:

How complementary base pairing is involved in both transcription and translation.

Introduction:

Complementary base pairing provides correct binding between the bases and if the bases are incorrectly added, then the bonding between nucleotides will not occur properly. It also describes the manner in which the nitrogenous bases of the DNA molecules align with each other. It is also responsible for the double-helix structure of DNA.
