How is RNA typically structured?

Back

RNA is usually single-stranded and contains the base uracil.

Front

What is the difference between genotype and phenotype?

Back

Genotype refers to the genetic makeup, while phenotype refers to the observable traits.

Front

What is the role of codons in protein synthesis?

Back

Codons are sequences of three nucleotides that specify an amino acid.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Front

What does it mean for a plant to be homozygous?

Back

A homozygous plant has two identical alleles for a trait.

Front

What is the function of mRNA in cells?

Back

mRNA carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.
