The complementary pairing of the nitrogenous bases (adenine-thymine and guanine-cytosine) allows for the precise and accurate replication of DNA. When the two strands separate, each strand serves as a template for the formation of a new complementary strand. The nitrogenous bases pair up according to the base-pairing rules, resulting in two identical DNA molecules.
