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