Attractive force between a hydrogen molecule covalently bonded to an electronegative molecule
Chromosome
rRNA
Ribosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes
Sugar-Phosphate Backbone
One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in DNA.
RNA
A molecule that is essential for the expression of genetic information encoded in DNA and serves as a mediator between DNA and proteins.
Uracil
Nucleotides
Building blocks of DNA and 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
DNA
Molecule that carries genetic information
Adenine
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
mRNA
Messenger RNA is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm
Pyrimidines
Antiparallel Orientation
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Guanine
Base Pairing Rules
Nucleic Acids
Organic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information
Chargaff's Rule
There are equal amounts of Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine
Transfer RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Cytosine
