Nucleotides
Purine nucleotide used in both DNA and RNA. Bonds with the nucleotide Cytosine
What is Guanine?
DNA structure made of two connecting strands of DNA twisting like a spiral staircase.
What is Double Helix?
Nucleic acid that is responsible for storing the genetic material of an organism.
What is DNA?
Weak chemical bond formed by the attraction of positively charged hydrogen atoms to other negatively charged atoms.
What is a Hydrogen Bond?
Pyrimidine nucleotide used exclusively in DNA and bonds with the nucleotide Adenine.
What is Thymine?
RNA structure made up of a line of ribose, phosphate groups, and nucleotides.
What is Single Strand?
Nucleic acid that is partly responsible for executing production of proteins.
What is RNA?
Monomer of nucleic acids made up of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
What is a Nucleotide?
Pyrimidine nucleotide used in both DNA and RNA. Bonds with the nucleotide Guanine.
What is Cytosine?
Pentose sugar important as a component of ribonucleic acid
What is Ribose?
Nitrogenous bases made of two rings (adenine and cytosine).
What are Purines?
Pyrimidine nucleotide used exclusively in RNA and bonds with the nucleotide Adenine.
What is Uracil?
Purine nucleotide used in both DNA and RNA. Bonds with the nucleotide Thymine in DNA and the nucleotide Uracil in RNA.
What is Adenine?
Five-carbon sugar that is a component of DNA nucleotides.
What is Deoxyribose?
Nitrogenous bases made of one ring (thymine, uracil, and guanine)
What are Pyrimidines?
Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine in DNA.
Adenine, Uracil, Cytosine, and Guanine in RNA.
What are Nitrogen Bases?
