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