Antiparallel Orientation
Cytosine
Uracil
Sugar-Phosphate Backbone
Messenger RNA is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm
Nucleotides
Building blocks of DNA and RNA
Base Pairing Rules
In DNA, Adenine pairs with Thymine while Guanine pairs with Cytosine
Organic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information
Thymine
Guanine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Cytosine
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.
Molecule that carries genetic information
Chromosome
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
Transfer RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine
RNA
One of two types of nitrogenous bases, it is characterized by their two fused rings. The two bases are adenine and guanine
There are equal amounts of Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine
Ribosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes
Gene
Attractive force between a hydrogen molecule covalently bonded to an electronegative molecule
