RNA VS DNA

Front

What is the main structural difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and forms a double helix, while RNA is usually single-stranded.

Front

What sugar is found in DNA?

Back

Deoxyribose.

Front

What sugar is found in RNA?

Back

Ribose.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G).

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in RNA?

Back

Adenine (A), Uracil (U), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G).

Front

Which nucleic acid is responsible for protein synthesis?

Back

RNA.

Front

What is the role of mRNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of tRNA?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA) brings amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What is the role of rRNA?

Back

rRNA (ribosomal RNA) is a component of ribosomes and helps in protein synthesis.

Front

What is a nucleotide?

Back

A nucleotide is the basic building block of nucleic acids, consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
