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.
mRNA
Adenine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine
rRNA
Ribosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes
tRNA
Organic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information
Base Pairing Rules
In DNA, Adenine pairs with Thymine while Guanine pairs with Cytosine
Hydrogen Bonding
Nucleotides
Building blocks of DNA and RNA
Chargaff's Rule
Thymine
Sugar-Phosphate Backbone
Forms the structural framework of nucleic acids
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with 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.
DNA
Molecule that carries genetic information
One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in RNA.
Cytosine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Guanine
Purines
One of two types of nitrogenous bases, it is characterized by their two fused rings. The two bases are adenine and guanine
Chromosome
Antiparallel Orientation
The opposite arrangement of the sugar-phosphate backbones in a DNA double helix
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
