Base Pairing Rules
In DNA, Adenine pairs with Thymine while Guanine pairs with Cytosine
tRNA
Gene
Chromosome
The opposite arrangement of the sugar-phosphate backbones in a DNA double helix
mRNA
Messenger RNA is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm
Sugar-Phosphate Backbone
DNA
There are equal amounts of Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine
Cytosine
Purines
One of two types of nitrogenous bases, it is characterized by their two fused rings. The two bases are adenine and guanine
Guanine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Cytosine
Attractive force between a hydrogen molecule covalently bonded to an electronegative molecule
Ribosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes
Adenine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine
Nucleic Acids
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.
Uracil
Nucleotides
Building blocks of DNA and RNA
Thymine
One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in DNA.
A molecule that is essential for the expression of genetic information encoded in DNA and serves as a mediator between DNA and proteins.
