What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is arranged as a double helix or 'twisted ladder'.

Front

What are the building blocks of DNA?

Back

Nucleotides are the units that are repeatedly joined together to form a strand of DNA.

Front

What is the process called when the information in DNA is copied to mRNA?

Back

Transcription.

Front

If a strand of DNA contains 20% Thymine, what percentage of Guanine would be present?

Back

30% Guanine.

Front

What is the role of RNA in protein synthesis?

Back

RNA serves as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA in terms of sugar?

Back

DNA contains deoxyribose sugar, while RNA contains ribose sugar.

Front

What base is found in RNA but not in DNA?

Back

Uracil.

Front

What is the complementary base pairing rule in DNA?

Back

Adenine pairs with Thymine, and Cytosine pairs with Guanine.

Front

What is the function of ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?

Back

Ribosomal RNA is a component of ribosomes and plays a crucial role in protein synthesis.
