Molecule that carries genetic information
Gene
Base Pairing Rules In DNA, Adenine pairs with Thymine while Guanine pairs with Cytosine
tRNA Transfer RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis
rRNA
Pyrimidines
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
Purines One of two types of nitrogenous bases, it is characterized by their two fused rings. The two bases are adenine and guanine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine
Chargaff's Rule There are equal amounts of Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine
Organic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information
