mRNAMessenger RNA is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm
Molecule that carries genetic information
Gene
Hydrogen Bonding
RNAA molecule that is essential for the expression of genetic information encoded in DNA and serves as a mediator between DNA and proteins.
PurinesOne of two types of nitrogenous bases, it is characterized by their two fused rings. The two bases are adenine and guanine
Ribosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes
Chargaff's Rule
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
AdenineNitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine
tRNATransfer RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis
Base Pairing RulesIn DNA, Adenine pairs with Thymine while Guanine pairs with Cytosine
