DNA Vs. RNA

Front

What is the primary function of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are the organelles where protein synthesis occurs.

Front

What is the role of DNA in living organisms?

Back

DNA is responsible for storing and transmitting genetic information.

Front

What is the complementary RNA sequence for the DNA sequence ATG TGA CAG?

Back

The complementary RNA sequence is UAC ACU GUC.

Front

What base does RNA contain that DNA does not?

Back

RNA contains uracil (U) instead of thymine (T).

Front

What are the main structural differences 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 base pairing rule for DNA?

Back

Adenine pairs with thymine (A-T) and cytosine pairs with guanine (C-G).

Front

What is the significance of the sequence AUG in RNA?

Back

AUG is the start codon that signals the beginning of protein synthesis.

Front

How does the structure of RNA differ from that of DNA?

Back

RNA is typically single-stranded, while DNA is double-stranded.

Front

What is the process called by which DNA is copied to RNA?

Back

The process is called transcription.

Front

What is the role of messenger RNA (mRNA)?

Back

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