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