The unbranched nuclear chains are nucleotides, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).
A nucleoside is a pentose sugar and a base combination
There are three components of a nucleotide: a pentose, a base, and a phosphate group.
In DNA, adenine, thymine, guanine, or cytosine may be the base of sugar.
Three types of RNA vary depending on their function in the cell
The process through which RNA polymerase produces mRNA on one strand of DNA is transcription.
The foundations of mRNA are complementary to DNA, except that A in DNA and U in RNA are matched.
mRNA is produced when certain proteins are necessary in the cell.
