Front

What is the main function of RNA?

Back

RNA is responsible for transferring genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is a double helix structure composed of two strands that wind around each other.

Front

What is the structure of RNA?

Back

RNA is typically a single-stranded molecule.

Front

How do DNA and RNA differ in terms of strands?

Back

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

Front

What are nucleotides?

Back

Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA, consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is the role of DNA in cells?
