DNA/RNA

Front

What is the base pairing rule in DNA?

Back

In DNA, Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T) and Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C).

Front

What is DNA replication?

Back

DNA replication is the process by which a DNA molecule makes an exact copy of itself.

Front

What is the structure of RNA?

Back

RNA is typically single-stranded, unlike DNA which is double-stranded.

Front

What is the shape of a DNA molecule?

Back

The shape of a DNA molecule is a double helix.

Front

What determines the genetic code in DNA?

Back

The genetic code in DNA is determined by the order (sequence) of the nitrogen bases.

Front

What are the four nitrogen bases in DNA?

Back

The four nitrogen bases in DNA are Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G), and Cytosine (C).

Front

What is the function of mRNA?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is transcription?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA contains deoxyribose sugar and thymine, while RNA contains ribose sugar and uracil.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where proteins are synthesized by translating mRNA.
