Cytosine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Guanine
Hydrogen Bonding
Thymine
tRNA
Transfer RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis
One of two types of nitrogenous bases, it is characterized by their two fused rings. The two bases are adenine and guanine
Uracil
A molecule that is essential for the expression of genetic information encoded in DNA and serves as a mediator between DNA and proteins.
rRNA
Nucleotides
Building blocks of DNA and RNA
mRNA
Messenger RNA is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm
DNA
Molecule that carries genetic information
Antiparallel Orientation
Base Pairing Rules
Organic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information
Guanine
Gene
They are segments of DNA that contain the instructions for building proteins, which are essential for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's cells, tissues, and organs
Sugar-Phosphate Backbone
Forms the structural framework of nucleic acids
Chargaff's Rule
There are equal amounts of Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine
Chromosome
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.
