Front

If strand II of a DNA molecule is complementary to strand I, what would strand II include if strand I has the sequence AGC?

Back

Front

What is the role of DNA in cells?

Back

DNA stores genetic information and provides instructions for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is a double helix composed of two strands of nucleotides.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides that corresponds to a specific amino acid.

Front

What is the function of RNA in protein synthesis?

Back

RNA transcribes the genetic information from DNA and translates it into proteins.

Front

What are the differences between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded, contains deoxyribose sugar, and thymine; RNA is single-stranded, contains ribose sugar, and uracil.
