DNA vs RNA

Front

What is the sugar found in RNA?

Back

Ribose

Front

What are the four bases found in RNA?

Back

Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Uracil

Front

Which base pairs with adenine in RNA?

Back

Uracil

Front

What is the primary function of RNA?

Back

To transfer genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

Where is RNA synthesized?

Back

In the nucleus of the cell.

Front

What is the structure of RNA compared to DNA?

Back

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

Front

What type of RNA carries amino acids to the ribosome?

Back

Transfer RNA (tRNA)

Front

What is messenger RNA (mRNA)?

Back

A type of RNA that carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome.

Front

What is the role of ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?

Back

To make up the structure of ribosomes and assist in protein synthesis.

Front

How does RNA differ from DNA in terms of stability?

Back

RNA is generally less stable than DNA due to its single-stranded structure and the presence of ribose.
