DNA vs. RNA

Front

What is the main difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains Thymine (T), while RNA is single-stranded and contains Uracil (U) instead of Thymine.

Front

What are the three components of a nucleotide?

Back

Sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base.

Front

Which bases are found in DNA?

Back

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

Front

Which bases are found in RNA?

Back

Adenine (A), Uracil (U), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G).

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA has a double helix structure.

Front

What is the role of DNA?

Back

DNA stores genetic information and provides instructions for the development and functioning of living organisms.

Front

What is the role of RNA?

Back

RNA plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome.

Front

What is transcription in the context of DNA and RNA?

Back

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

Front

What is translation in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

Translation is the process where ribosomes synthesize proteins using the information carried by mRNA.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that corresponds to a specific amino acid.
