DNA
Stores the genetic instructions of the cell
RNA
Carries the instructions from DNA to the Ribosome
Ribosome
Reads the RNA instructions and builds proteins by linking amino acids together
Nucleotide
Building block of DNA and RNA
Phosphate, Sugar, Base
3 Parts of a Nucleotide
Phosphate Group
Backbone Connector
Sugar
Connects the phosphate group to the Nitrogenous Base
Nitrogenous Base
Stores the genetic code
Deoxyribose
Sugar in DNA
Cytosine, Thymine, Uracil
Pyrimidine Bases
Guanine, Adenine
Purine Bases
Adenine
Found in both DNA and RNA. Pairs with Thymine or Uracil.
Guanine
Found in both DNA and RNA, pairs with Cytosine.
Cytosine
