22. DNA vs RNA

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

Why is RNA necessary if DNA contains the genetic code?

Back

RNA is portable and can be read by the ribosome, allowing for protein synthesis.

Front

What RNA base pairs with adenine (A) in DNA during transcription?

Back

Uracil (U) pairs with adenine (A) in RNA.

Front

What RNA base pairs with cytosine (C) in DNA during transcription?

Back

Guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C) in RNA.

Front

What are the RNA bases that pair with the DNA sequence CCG TAA during transcription?

Back

GGC AUU are the RNA bases that pair with CCG TAA.

Front

What are the RNA bases that pair with the DNA sequence GCA AAG CCC during transcription?

Back

CGU UUC GGG are the RNA bases that pair with GCA AAG CCC.

Front

What are the RNA bases that pair with the DNA sequence TAC GAA during transcription?

Back

AUG CUU are the RNA bases that pair with TAC GAA.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes read the mRNA sequence and facilitate the translation of RNA into proteins.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What are the four bases found in RNA?

Back

The four bases in RNA are adenine (A), uracil (U), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).
