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
Sugar-Phosphate Backbone
Molecule that carries genetic information
Cytosine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Guanine
mRNA
Messenger RNA is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm
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.
Gene
Nucleotides
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine
Base Pairing Rules
In DNA, Adenine pairs with Thymine while Guanine pairs with Cytosine
rRNA
Ribosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes
Antiparallel Orientation
The opposite arrangement of the sugar-phosphate backbones in a DNA double helix
Thymine
One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in DNA.
Purines
Attractive force between a hydrogen molecule covalently bonded to an electronegative molecule
Nucleic Acids
Organic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information
Uracil
One of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in RNA.
Chargaff's Rule
There are equal amounts of Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine
Guanine
Nitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Cytosine
tRNA
