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.
Adenine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine
Cytosine
One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in DNA.
tRNA
Transfer RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis
DNA
Molecule that carries genetic information
Nucleotides
A molecule that is essential for the expression of genetic information encoded in DNA and serves as a mediator between DNA and proteins.
Ribosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes
Guanine
Antiparallel Orientation
The opposite arrangement of the sugar-phosphate backbones in a DNA double helix
Nucleic Acids
Organic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information
Hydrogen Bonding
Attractive force between a hydrogen molecule covalently bonded to an electronegative molecule
Chromosome
Uracil
One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in RNA.
Gene
Sugar-Phosphate Backbone
Forms the structural framework of nucleic acids
Base Pairing Rules
mRNA
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
Chargaff's Rule
There are equal amounts of Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine
