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.
mRNA
Messenger 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
RNA
A molecule that is essential for the expression of genetic information encoded in DNA and serves as a mediator between DNA and proteins.
Purines
One 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
Adenine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine
tRNA
Transfer RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis
Base Pairing Rules
In DNA, Adenine pairs with Thymine while Guanine pairs with Cytosine
Organic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information
Nucleotides
Building blocks of DNA and RNA
Uracil
One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in RNA.
Thymine
One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in DNA.
Antiparallel Orientation
Guanine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Cytosine
Cytosine
Sugar-Phosphate Backbone
Forms the structural framework of nucleic acids
