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
Sugar-Phosphate Backbone
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine
Purines
One of two types of nitrogenous bases, it is characterized by their two fused rings. The two bases are adenine and guanine
DNA
Molecule that carries genetic information
Hydrogen Bonding
Gene
mRNA
Messenger RNA is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm
Base Pairing Rules
In DNA, Adenine pairs with Thymine while Guanine pairs with Cytosine
Antiparallel Orientation
The opposite arrangement of the sugar-phosphate backbones in a DNA double helix
Guanine
rRNA
tRNA
RNA
Uracil
One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in RNA.
Nucleotides
Building blocks of DNA and RNA
Organic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information
Chargaff's Rule
There are equal amounts of Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine
Thymine
One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in DNA.
Pyrimidines
Cytosine
