DNA vs RNA Quiz

What is the main function of DNA?

• Store and transmit genetic information

• Regulate cell division

• Produce energy for the cell

• Transport nutrients within the cell

Explain the role of DNA in genetic inheritance.

• DNA carries genetic information from one generation to the next.

• DNA has no role in genetic inheritance, it is all determined by environmental factors.

• DNA is only responsible for physical traits, not genetic inheritance.

• Genetic inheritance is determined by the food we eat, not by DNA.

What is the primary function of RNA?

• Storage of genetic information

• Regulation of cell division

• Protein synthesis and gene expression

• Energy production in cells

Describe the process of protein synthesis involving RNA.

• Transcription and translation are the two main stages of protein synthesis involving RNA.

• Protein synthesis only involves DNA

• Protein synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm

• Protein synthesis does not involve RNA

Explain the structural dissimilarities between DNA and RNA.

• The structural dissimilarities between DNA and RNA include differences in sugar composition, number of strands, and the presence of thymine in DNA and uracil in RNA.

• DNA contains uracil and RNA contains thymine

• DNA and RNA have the same number of strands

• Both DNA and RNA have the same sugar composition

What is the process of transcription and how does it relate to DNA and RNA?

• Transcription is the process of converting RNA into DNA.

• Transcription is the process of creating an RNA copy of a segment of DNA.

• Transcription is the process of creating a copy of DNA using protein.

• Transcription is the process of creating a protein from DNA.

Describe the process of translation and its connection to DNA and RNA.

• Translation is the process of creating DNA from RNA

• Translation is the process of converting DNA into RNA

• Translation is the process of breaking down proteins into mRNA

• Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the information encoded in mRNA.

How does DNA differ from RNA in terms of stability and longevity?

• RNA is more stable and has a longer longevity compared to DNA.

• DNA and RNA have the same stability and longevity.

• DNA is more stable and has a longer longevity compared to RNA.

• DNA and RNA both degrade at the same rate.

Explain the significance of the differences in DNA and RNA in relation to their respective functions.

• DNA and RNA have the same functions in the cell

• DNA and RNA are interchangeable and can perform each other's functions

• The differences in DNA and RNA are significant because they determine their respective functions in the cell.

• The differences in DNA and RNA are insignificant and do not affect their functions
