Sugar-Phosphate Backbone

Organic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information

Base Pairing Rules

tRNA

Chargaff's Rule There are equal amounts of Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine

Attractive force between a hydrogen molecule covalently bonded to an electronegative molecule

Gene

mRNA Messenger RNA is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm

RNA A molecule that is essential for the expression of genetic information encoded in DNA and serves as a mediator between DNA and proteins.

Pyrimidines

Thymine

Antiparallel Orientation

Uracil One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in RNA.

Guanine Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Cytosine

Nucleotides Building blocks of DNA and RNA

Purines

rRNA Ribosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes

Chromosome 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

Cytosine Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Guanine

Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine

DNA Molecule that carries genetic information

Uracil One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in RNA.

Adenine Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine

Sugar-Phosphate Backbone Forms the structural framework of nucleic acids

Pyrimidines

Antiparallel Orientation

Cytosine Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Guanine

Thymine One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in DNA.

tRNA

Purines One of two types of nitrogenous bases, it is characterized by their two fused rings. The two bases are adenine and guanine

There are equal amounts of Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine

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

Ribosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes

Nucleic Acids Organic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information
