Thymine A nitrogen base (pyrimidine) that bonds with Adenine
Guanine A nitrogen base (purine) that bonds with Cytosine
Cytosine A nitrogen base (pyrimidine) that bonds with Guanine

CHONP Elements found in nucleic acids
complementary bases / complementary nucleotide Cytosine ALWAYS bonds with Guanine and Adenine ALWAYS bonds with Thymine
Sugar phosphate backbone The outside, ribbon like, part of DNA made of phosphate groups and deoxyribose sugar molecules
Rungs of double helix (DNA) The inside section of DNA. Made of nitrogenous base pairs.
Base pair When two bases form a hydrogen bond (A bonds with T, C bonds with G)
Chromosomes Long , continuous thread of DNA that consists of numerous genes and regulatory information
