Sugar-Phosphate Backbone
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Guanine
rRNARibosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Cytosine
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.
PurinesOne of two types of nitrogenous bases, it is characterized by their two fused rings. The two bases are adenine and guanine
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
Antiparallel OrientationThe opposite arrangement of the sugar-phosphate backbones in a DNA double helix
UracilOne of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in RNA.
Messenger RNA is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm
Chargaff's RuleThere are equal amounts of Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine
