Front

Components that make up an RNA nucleotide

Back

Ribose sugar

Phosphate

Base

Front

RNA is ..................... stranded

Back

single

Front

3 types of RNA

Back

messenger RNA (mRNA)

transfer RNA (tRNA)

ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

Front

Messenger RNA (mRNA)

Back

carries a complementary copy of the DNA code from the nucleus to the ribosome.

Front

Transfer RNA (tRNA)

Back

type of RNA which has a folded structure held together by hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs. Its function is to transfer a specific amino acid to the mRNA at the ribosomes

Front

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

Back

type of RNA which makes up ribosomes

Front

Bases present in RNA

Back

adenine

uracil

cytosine

guanine

Front

Uracil

Back

base that pairs with Adenine in RNA

Front

Codon

Back

group of 3 bases on mRNA that code for a specific amino acid

Front

Anti-codon

Back

sequence of 3 bases found on tRNA that code for a specific amino acid
