What is the unique property of polynucleotide chains due to base pairing?

Step-by-step solution

The base pairing confers a very unique property to the polynucleotide chains. They are said to be complementary to each other , and therefore if the sequence of bases in one strand is known then the sequence in the other strand can be predicted. Also, if each strand from a DNA (let us call it as a parental DNA) acts as a template for synthesis of a new strand, the two double stranded DNA (let us call them as daughter DNA) thus produced would be identical to the parental DNA molecule. Because of this, the genetic im
