What is a nucleic acid composed of a phosphate, ribose sugar, and one of four nitrogen bases?

Back

RNA

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What are the building blocks of DNA?

Back

Nucleotides, which consist of a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogen base.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in the cell?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis where mRNA is translated into proteins.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains deoxyribose sugar, while RNA is single-stranded and contains ribose sugar.

Front

What is the significance of the base pairing rules in DNA?

Back

Base pairing rules ensure accurate replication and transcription of genetic information.
