What part of translation depends on the base-pairing rules?

Translation is defined as the production of  messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. Throughout it, the sequence of nucleotides in the gene in the DNA is copied into the corresponding sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA  The part of translation that depends on the base-pairing rules is when the codon + anticodon meet together. Hope this answer helps.

The answer is observations and interpreting.
