Front

What is the role of rRNA in the cell?

Back

It is a structural component of the ribosome.

Front

What is the primary function of mRNA?

Back

To carry genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA in terms of sugar?

Back

DNA contains deoxyribose sugar, while RNA contains ribose sugar.

Front

What is a nucleotide?

Back

The basic building block of DNA and RNA, consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is the function of tRNA?

Back

To transport amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What is the significance of the phosphate-sugar backbone in DNA?

Back

It provides structural support and stability to the DNA molecule.
