rRNA
Ribosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes
Base Pairing Rules
In DNA, Adenine pairs with Thymine while Guanine pairs with Cytosine
Organic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information
DNA
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
Sugar-Phosphate Backbone
Forms the structural framework of nucleic acids
mRNA
Thymine
Uracil
Antiparallel Orientation
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Cytosine
Cytosine
RNA
A molecule that is essential for the expression of genetic information encoded in DNA and serves as a mediator between DNA and proteins.
Building blocks of DNA and RNA
Pyrimidines
Adenine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine
Attractive force between a hydrogen molecule covalently bonded to an electronegative molecule
Chargaff's Rule
tRNA
Transfer RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis
Purines
One of two types of nitrogenous bases, it is characterized by their two fused rings. The two bases are adenine and guanine
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
