DNA and RNA

Front

What is the role of RNA in eukaryotic cells?

Back

RNA travels out of the nucleus to a ribosome to help synthesize proteins.

Front

What is transcription in the context of DNA and RNA?

Back

Transcription is the process where the information in DNA is copied to mRNA.

Front

What is replication in DNA?

Back

Replication is the process in which DNA makes an exact copy of itself.

Front

What is the complementary DNA sequence for the strand ATG TGA CAG?

Back

The complementary DNA sequence is TAC ACT GTC.

Front

What is the structure of RNA compared to DNA?

Back

RNA is single-stranded, while DNA is double-stranded.

Front

What are the main differences between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA contains deoxyribose sugar, is double-stranded, and stores genetic information. RNA contains ribose sugar, is single-stranded, and helps in protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in relation to RNA?

Back

Ribosomes read mRNA to synthesize proteins.

Front

What is the process of translation?

Back

Translation is the process where ribosomes use mRNA to assemble amino acids into proteins.

Front

What are the four bases of DNA?

Back

The four bases of DNA are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).

Front

What are the four bases of RNA?

Back

The four bases of RNA are adenine (A), uracil (U), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).
