Definition that contains nucleotide
- a one of the four nucleotides used in building DNA; all four nucleotides have a common phosphate group and a sugar (ribose)
- c one of the four nucleotides used in building DNA; all four nucleotides have a common phosphate group and a sugar (ribose)
- g one of the four nucleotides used in building DNA; all four nucleotides have a common phosphate group and a sugar (ribose)
- dna (biochemistry) a long linear polymer found in the nucleus of a cell and formed from nucleotides and shaped like a double helix; associated with the transmission of genetic information
- amp a nucleotide found in muscle cells and important in metabolism; reversibly convertible to ADP and ATP
- rna (biochemistry) a long linear polymer of nucleotides found in the nucleus but mainly in the cytoplasm of a cell where it is associated with microsomes; it transmits genetic information from DNA to the cytoplasm and controls certain chemical processes in the cell
- deletion (genetics) the loss or absence of one or more nucleotides from a chromosome
- codon a specific sequence of three adjacent nucleotides on a strand of DNA or RNA that specifies the genetic code information for synthesizing a particular amino acid
- adenosine triphosphate a nucleotide derived from adenosine that occurs in muscle tissue; the major source of energy for cellular reactions
- oligo (biochemistry) a polynucleotide whose molecules contain relatively few nucleotides
