RNA
A molecule that is essential for the expression of genetic information encoded in DNA and serves as a mediator between DNA and proteins.
rRNA
Organic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information
mRNA
Guanine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Cytosine
Thymine
One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in DNA.
Sugar-Phosphate Backbone
Forms the structural framework of nucleic acids
Cytosine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Guanine
Molecule that carries genetic information
In DNA, Adenine pairs with Thymine while Guanine pairs with Cytosine
Transfer RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis
One of two types of nitrogenous bases, it is characterized by their two fused rings. The two bases are adenine and guanine
Uracil
One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in RNA.
Hydrogen Bonding
Attractive force between a hydrogen molecule covalently bonded to an electronegative molecule
Chargaff's Rule
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.
Antiparallel Orientation
The opposite arrangement of the sugar-phosphate backbones in a DNA double helix
Chromosome
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
Adenine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine
Nucleotides
