Antiparallel Orientation
Guanine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Cytosine
Cytosine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Guanine
Thymine
One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in DNA.
Purines
One of two types of nitrogenous bases, it is characterized by their two fused rings. The two bases are adenine and guanine
Chargaff's Rule
RNA
Organic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine
tRNA
Transfer RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis
Attractive force between a hydrogen molecule covalently bonded to an electronegative molecule
Uracil
One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in RNA.
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
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
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
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.
Sugar-Phosphate Backbone
Forms the structural framework of nucleic acids
rRNA
DNA
Molecule that carries genetic information
Nucleotides
Building blocks of DNA and RNA
