Front

What is the structure of RNA?

Back

RNA is a single-stranded molecule.

Front

What type of sugar is found in DNA?

Back

Deoxyribose is the sugar found in DNA.

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is arranged as a double helix or 'twisted ladder'.

Front

What is the complementary mRNA strand for the DNA sequence TAC GAA?

Back

The complementary mRNA strand is AUG CUU.

Front

What are the main differences between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains deoxyribose sugar, while RNA is single-stranded and contains ribose sugar.

Front

What is the primary function of DNA?

Back

DNA stores and transmits genetic information.

Front

What is the primary function of RNA?

Back

RNA plays a crucial role in protein synthesis.

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

How does RNA differ from DNA in terms of nitrogenous bases?

Back

RNA contains uracil (U) instead of thymine (T) found in DNA.
