Front

What is the role of RNA in protein synthesis?

Back

RNA carries the genetic code from DNA to ribosomes for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine; RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil.

What is base pairing in DNA?

Back

Adenine pairs with Thymine, and Guanine pairs with Cytosine.
