DNA and RNA

Front

What is the base pairing rule in DNA?

Back

In DNA, Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T), and Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C).

Front

What are nucleotides?

Back

Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA, consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is the function of DNA?

Back

DNA stores genetic information that codes for the production of proteins.

Front

What is RNA?

Back

RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) is a single-stranded molecule that plays a crucial role in the synthesis of proteins.

Front

What is transcription?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.

Front

What is translation?

Back

Translation is the process by which ribosomes synthesize proteins using the information encoded in mRNA.

Front

What are the three types of RNA?

Back

The three types of RNA are messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA).

Front

What is the role of mRNA?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.

Front

What is the role of tRNA?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What is the role of rRNA?

Back

rRNA is a structural component of ribosomes and plays a role in protein synthesis.
