Nucleic AcidsOrganic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information
Antiparallel OrientationThe opposite arrangement of the sugar-phosphate backbones in a DNA double helix
Forms the structural framework of nucleic acids
AdenineNitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine
PyrimidinesOne 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.
Uracil
PurinesOne of two types of nitrogenous bases, it is characterized by their two fused rings. The two bases are adenine and guanine
A molecule that is essential for the expression of genetic information encoded in DNA and serves as a mediator between DNA and proteins.
rRNARibosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes
mRNAMessenger RNA is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm
ThymineOne of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in DNA.
ChromosomeThread-like structures made of DNA and proteins found in the nucleus of most living cells. They carry genetic information in the form of genes
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Guanine
