DNA/RNA

The two nitrogenous bases, either adenine pairing with thymine or guanine pairing with cytosine, that are joined by a hydrogen bond and create a "rung" on the DNA ladder

• chromosome

• base pair

• protein synthesis

• gene

A single strand of DNA tightly coiled around special proteins

• crick, francis, and watson, james

• nucleotide

• nitrogenous base

• chromosome

The two scientists who discovered the structure and shape of DNA

• Chargaff and Crick

• Francis Crick and James Watson

• Wilkins and Redi

• Hooke and Watson

A long molecule in the shape of a double helix and made up of nucleotides; contains genetic "instruction"

• hydrogen bond

• base pair

• Glycogen

• deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
