Thread-like structures made of DNA and proteins found in the nucleus of most living cells. They carry genetic information in the form of genes
Thymine
One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in DNA.
mRNA
Messenger RNA is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm
DNA
tRNA
Transfer RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis
Base Pairing Rules
Uracil
One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in RNA.
Adenine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine
Forms the structural framework of nucleic acids
Pyrimidines
One of the two types of nitrogenous bases, They are characterized by a six-membered ring structure composed of four carbon atoms and two nitrogen atoms.The two bases are thymine and cytosine.
Chargaff's Rule
Hydrogen Bonding
Attractive force between a hydrogen molecule covalently bonded to an electronegative molecule
Guanine
RNA
A molecule that is essential for the expression of genetic information encoded in DNA and serves as a mediator between DNA and proteins.
Nucleic Acids
rRNA
Ribosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes
Gene
They are segments of DNA that contain the instructions for building proteins, which are essential for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's cells, tissues, and organs
Cytosine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Guanine
Purines
One of two types of nitrogenous bases, it is characterized by their two fused rings. The two bases are adenine and guanine
Nucleotides
Antiparallel Orientation
