What is a Pyrimidine?

• single-ring nitrogenous base;
  Thymine and Cytosine

• double-ring nitrogenous base;
  Adenine and Guanine

• The alternating chain of sugar and phosphate to which the DNA and RNA nitrogenous bases are attached

• ribosomal RNA; type of RNA that makes up part of the ribosome

What is a Purine?

• Site of protein synthesis

What is DNA?

• Site of protein synthesis

• ribosomal RNA; type of RNA that makes up part of the ribosome

• transfer RNA; type of RNA that carries amino acids to the ribosome

• deoxyribonucleic acid

Transcription

• RNA to protein; happens at ribosome in the cytoplasm

• transfer RNA; type of RNA that carries amino acids to the ribosome

• DNA to RNA, occurs in nucleus

• Site of protein synthesis

tRNA

• transfer RNA; type of RNA that carries amino acids to the ribosome

• messenger RNA; type of RNA that carries instructions from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosome, it is single-stranded and base pairs with uracil instead of thymine

• RNA to protein; happens at ribosome in the cytoplasm

• Site of protein synthesis

mRNA

• deoxyribonucleic acid

• RNA to protein; happens at ribosome in the cytoplasm
