DNA, RNA, and Protein Synthesis

Front

What base does Guanine bond with in DNA?

Back

Cytosine

Front

In DNA, which base does Adenine bond with?

Back

Thymine

Front

What two molecules form the sides (backbone) of the DNA ladder?

Back

Deoxyribose (sugar) and phosphate

Front

What type of RNA carries genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA)

Front

Which pair of bases is found in DNA?

Back

Guanine and Cytosine (G-C)

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

A double helix made of two strands of nucleotides.

Front

What are the building blocks of DNA?

Back

Nucleotides, which consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is the role of RNA polymerase in protein synthesis?

Back

It synthesizes RNA from a DNA template during transcription.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains deoxyribose; RNA is single-stranded and contains ribose.
