Question

Why is complementary base pairing so important to the success of protein synthesis?

Answer 1

I only have one reason but hope it helps!

Because without those bases pairing there would be no structure of a DNA.

Answer 2

 DNA stores the information for protein synthesis and RNA carries out the instructions encoded in DNA, most biological activities are carried out by proteins. The accurate synthesis of proteins thus is critical to the proper functioning of cells and organisms. We saw in Chapter 3 that the linear order of amino acids in each protein determines its three-dimensional structure and activity. For this reason, assembly of amino acids in their correct order, as encoded in DNA, is the key to production of functional proteins.
