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