nucleotide → nukleotid
Nucleotides are the components that made up nucleic acids. They have three major components: the first component is a nitrogenous base, which is derivative of one of two parent compounds, pyrimidine or purine; the second is a pentose, or five carbon sugar group; the third is a unit of phosphate. Each group of three nucleotides in a gene is known as a codon. Whenever the phosphate group is not present, a nucleotide becomes a nucleoside.
tear gas → suzavac
Tear gases is the common name for substances which, in low concentrations, cause pain in the eyes, flow of tears and difficulty in keeping the eyes open. Tear gases are used mainly in military exercises and in riot control, etc., but have also been used as a method of warfare. Irritating gases have been used in war since ancient times but it was not until after the Second World War that a more systematic search for effective substances was started. Among a long series of substances, three have become of greater importance than the others. These substances are chloroacetophenone (codename CN), orto-chlorobenzylidene-malononitrile (CS) and dibenz(b,f)-1,4-oxazepine (CR).
