Transfer RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis
Thymine
One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in DNA.
Hydrogen Bonding
Attractive force between a hydrogen molecule covalently bonded to an electronegative molecule
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
Nucleotides
Building blocks of DNA and RNA
rRNA
Ribosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes
Forms the structural framework of nucleic acids
RNA
Guanine
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
There are equal amounts of Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine
Nucleic Acids
Organic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information
Molecule that carries genetic information
mRNA
One of two types of nitrogenous bases, it is characterized by their two fused rings. The two bases are adenine and guanine
Base Pairing Rules
In DNA, Adenine pairs with Thymine while Guanine pairs with Cytosine
Cytosine
Adenine
Antiparallel Orientation
The opposite arrangement of the sugar-phosphate backbones in a DNA double helix
One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in RNA.
