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
Cytosine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Guanine
Base Pairing Rules
In DNA, Adenine pairs with Thymine while Guanine pairs with Cytosine
DNA
Molecule that carries genetic information
Nucleotides
Adenine
Guanine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Cytosine
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
Messenger RNA is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm
Antiparallel Orientation
Sugar-Phosphate Backbone
Forms the structural framework of nucleic acids
Chargaff's Rule
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.
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
Hydrogen Bonding
Uracil
rRNA
Ribosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes
Nucleic Acids
Organic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information
RNA
A molecule that is essential for the expression of genetic information encoded in DNA and serves as a mediator between DNA and proteins.
Transfer RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis
