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