DNA and RNA

Front

What is the structure of RNA?

Back

RNA is single-stranded.

Front

What are the components of a nucleotide?

Back

A nucleotide is made of sugar, phosphate, and a nitrogen base.

Front

What type of sugar is found in DNA?

Back

The sugar in DNA is deoxyribose.

Front

What is the function of RNA in relation to DNA?

Back

RNA carries a copy of the DNA blueprint from the nucleus to the ribosome.

Front

What two molecules make up the backbone of DNA?

Back

The backbone of DNA is made of deoxyribose sugar and phosphate.

Front

What is the role of nitrogen bases in DNA?

Back

Nitrogen bases pair with each other to form the rungs of the DNA ladder.

Front

Name the four nitrogen bases found in DNA.

Back

The four nitrogen bases in DNA are adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.

Front

How do RNA and DNA differ in terms of structure?

Back

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

Front

What is the base pairing rule in DNA?

Back

Adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine.

Front

What is the primary function of DNA?

Back

The primary function of DNA is to store and transmit genetic information.
