The opposite arrangement of the sugar-phosphate backbones in a DNA double helix
Purines
Adenine
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.
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Guanine
Messenger RNA is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm
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
RNA
A molecule that is essential for the expression of genetic information encoded in DNA and serves as a mediator between DNA and proteins.
Sugar-Phosphate Backbone
Forms the structural framework of nucleic acids
rRNA
Ribosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes
Chargaff's Rule
There are equal amounts of Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine
Hydrogen Bonding
One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in DNA.
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Cytosine
Uracil
tRNA
Transfer RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis
Nucleotides
DNA
Nucleic Acids
Organic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information
