Definition of campaign ribbon. : a narrow ribbon-covered bar or strip of ribbon whose distinctive coloring indicates a military campaign in which the wearer has taken part.
In each of these bases, the nitrogen of the secondary amine bonds to the deoxyribose in the backbone. DNA consists of two strands running in opposite directions. The hydrophobic nitrogenous bases are on the inside, hidden from water. Hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous base hold the two strands of DNA together. These hydrogen bonds are base specific. That is, A (adenine) can form hydrogen bonds only with T (thymine). C (cytosine) can form hydrogen bonds only with G (guanine). The thymine-adenine pair interacts through two hydrogen bonds.
1 In RNA, Adenine binds to Uracil. 2  These hydrogen-bond interactions between nucleotides C-G and A-T or A-U are referred to as base-pairing or complementary base-pairing. 3  Base-pairing holds the double-stranded DNA molecule together. 4  Base-pairing is necessary for DNA synthesis, RNA synthesis, and Protein synthesis to occur.
