These bases pair up in a specific way to form the rungs of the DNA ladder, with adenine pairing with thymine and guanine pairing with cytosine. The sequence of these bases determines the genetic code that is responsible for the traits and characteristics of an organism. Overall, bases can refer to a wide range of concepts depending on the context in which it is used, from chemical substances to military installations to genetic building blocks.
