DNA and RNA

Front

What is the structure of RNA?

Back

Single-stranded molecule composed of nucleotides.

Front

What does DNA code for?

Back

Genetic instructions.

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

Making an RNA copy of a gene's DNA sequence.

Front

What is the function of tRNA?

Back

Carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

Define mRNA.

Back

Messenger RNA.

Front

What are the building blocks of DNA?

Back

Nucleotides, which consist of a sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogenous base.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G).

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where mRNA is translated into proteins.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of RNA polymerase?

Back

RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA from a DNA template during transcription.
