What is the structure of RNA?

• RNA is a single-stranded molecule composed of nucleotides connected by phosphodiester bonds.

• RNA is a double-stranded molecule composed of nucleotides connected by phosphodiester bonds.

• RNA is a protein composed of amino acids.

• RNA is a carbohydrate composed of monosaccharides.

What is the difference between RNA and DNA?

• RNA carries genetic information while DNA carries protein synthesis instructions.

• RNA is single-stranded while DNA is double-stranded.

• RNA is found only in plants while DNA is found only in animals.

• RNA and DNA have the same structure.

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

• mRNA is responsible for the replication of DNA

• mRNA acts as a structural component of ribosomes

• mRNA carries genetic information from DNA to ribosomes

• mRNA carries amino acids to the ribosomes

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

• tRNA carries ribosomes to the mRNA strand.

• tRNA helps in the replication of DNA.

• tRNA acts as a catalyst in protein synthesis.

• tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the codons on the mRNA strand.

What is the role of rRNA in protein synthesis?

• rRNA forms the ribosomes

• rRNA transports amino acids to the ribosomes

• rRNA carries the genetic code for protein synthesis

• rRNA acts as a template for DNA replication

What is the process of transcription in RNA synthesis?

• RNA polymerase binds to DNA and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand.

• RNA polymerase binds to RNA and synthesizes a complementary DNA strand.

• RNA polymerase binds to RNA and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand.

• DNA polymerase binds to DNA and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand.

What is the process of translation in protein synthesis?

• Transcribing DNA to synthesize a protein

• Copying DNA to synthesize a protein

• Reading tRNA to synthesize a protein

• Decoding mRNA to synthesize a protein
