Chargaff's Rule

Pyrimidines

Sugar-Phosphate Backbone Forms the structural framework of nucleic acids

RNA

Uracil One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in RNA.

Hydrogen Bonding

Purines One of two types of nitrogenous bases, it is characterized by their two fused rings. The two bases are adenine and guanine

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

Thymine One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in DNA.

Building blocks of DNA and RNA

Gene

Base Pairing Rules

Guanine Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Cytosine

The opposite arrangement of the sugar-phosphate backbones in a DNA double helix

mRNA Messenger RNA is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm

Ribosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes

Organic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information

Adenine Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine

Cytosine

tRNA Transfer RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis

DNA Molecule that carries genetic information

Building blocks of DNA and RNA

Guanine

In DNA, Adenine pairs with Thymine while Guanine pairs with Cytosine

Sugar-Phosphate Backbone Forms the structural framework of nucleic acids

Thymine One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in DNA.

DNA Molecule that carries genetic information

Chargaff's Rule There are equal amounts of Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine

Adenine Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine

Uracil

mRNA Messenger RNA is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm

Antiparallel Orientation The opposite arrangement of the sugar-phosphate backbones in a DNA double helix

RNA A molecule that is essential for the expression of genetic information encoded in DNA and serves as a mediator between DNA and proteins.

rRNA Ribosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes

Transfer RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis

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.

Nucleic Acids Organic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information

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

Cytosine Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Guanine

Hydrogen Bonding Attractive force between a hydrogen molecule covalently bonded to an electronegative molecule

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

Purines One of two types of nitrogenous bases, it is characterized by their two fused rings. The two bases are adenine and guanine
