Nucleic Acids Organic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information
Antiparallel Orientation The opposite arrangement of the sugar-phosphate backbones in a DNA double helix
Forms the structural framework of nucleic acids
Adenine Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine
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.
Uracil
Purines One of two types of nitrogenous bases, it is characterized by their two fused rings. The two bases are adenine and guanine
A molecule that is essential for the expression of genetic information encoded in DNA and serves as a mediator between DNA and proteins.
rRNA Ribosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes
mRNA Messenger RNA is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm
Thymine One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in DNA.
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
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Guanine
Building blocks of DNA and RNA
Molecule that carries genetic information
Hydrogen Bonding Attractive force between a hydrogen molecule covalently bonded to an electronegative molecule
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
