DNA vs RNA

Front

What is the primary structure of RNA?

Back

RNA is usually a single-stranded molecule.

Front

What does tRNA stand for?

Back

tRNA stands for transfer RNA.

Front

What type of RNA carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome?

Back

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

Front

Are both DNA and RNA classified as nucleic acids?

Back

True, both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids.

Front

What sugar is found in RNA?

Back

RNA contains the sugar ribose.

Front

What is the primary function of mRNA?

Back

mRNA's primary function is to convey genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA's role is to transfer specific amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference in the sugar component between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA contains deoxyribose, while RNA contains ribose.

Front

How many strands does DNA have?

Back

DNA is typically a double-stranded molecule.

Front

What are the building blocks of RNA?

Back

The building blocks of RNA are nucleotides, which consist of a ribose sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
