What Does BP Stand For?
BP stands for Base Pair
BP, or Base Pair, refers to the pair of nucleotides on opposite complementary DNA or RNA strands that are connected through hydrogen bonds. In DNA, the most common base pairs are adenine-thymine (A-T) and guanine-cytosine (G-C). Base pairs are fundamental units of genetic information, playing a crucial role in the structure and function of nucleic acids, including replication and transcription processes in genetics.
