PyrimidinesOne 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.
Gene
tRNATransfer RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis
Ribosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes
Hydrogen Bonding
Chargaff's RuleThere are equal amounts of Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine
The opposite arrangement of the sugar-phosphate backbones in a DNA double helix
ThymineOne of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in DNA.
In DNA, Adenine pairs with Thymine while Guanine pairs with Cytosine
GuanineNitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Cytosine
AdenineNitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine
Messenger RNA is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm
One of two types of nitrogenous bases, it is characterized by their two fused rings. The two bases are adenine and guanine
