A molecule that is essential for the expression of genetic information encoded in DNA and serves as a mediator between DNA and proteins.
Hydrogen Bonding
Nucleic AcidsOrganic molecules that play essential roles regarding genetic information
ThymineOne of the four nitrogenous bases, it pairs with Adenine in DNA.
DNAMolecule that carries genetic information
rRNARibosomal RNA is a structural part of ribosomes
GuanineNitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Cytosine
GeneThey 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
AdenineNitrogenous base in both RNA and DNA, pairs with Thymine
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.
