Difference between Base pair and DNA

Base pair vs. DNA

A base pair (bp) is a unit consisting of two nucleobases bound to each other by hydrogen bonds. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.
