Uracil
PurinesOne of two types of nitrogenous bases, it is characterized by their two fused rings. The two bases are adenine and guanine
DNAMolecule that carries genetic information
CytosineNitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Guanine
Nucleic AcidsOrganic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information
There are equal amounts of Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine
mRNA
