DNA & RNA Structure

Front

What is the complementary DNA sequence for the strand ACT?

Back

TGA

Front

Which four nucleotides are found in all DNA molecules?

Back

Adenine, cytosine, thymine, guanine.

Front

What does guanine represent in a DNA molecule?

Back

Guanine is one of the four nucleotides that make up DNA and is part of the encoded information.

Front

What is the significance of the sequence of base pairs in DNA?

Back

The sequence of base pairs encodes hereditary information concerning an organism's traits.

Front

How do DNA molecules express genetic information?

Back

DNA molecules express genetic information by directing the process of protein synthesis.

Front

What are the building blocks of DNA?

Back

The building blocks of DNA are nucleotides, which consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is the role of adenine in DNA?

Back

Adenine is one of the four nitrogenous bases in DNA and pairs with thymine.

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA has a double helix structure, consisting of two strands that wind around each other.

Front

What is the function of RNA in relation to DNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil instead of thymine.
