What is the primary function of RNA?

Back

RNA plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and gene expression.

Front

What are the main structural 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 role of ribose in RNA?

Back

Ribose is the sugar component of RNA, providing structure and stability.

Front

What is the role of deoxyribose in DNA?

Back

Deoxyribose is the sugar component of DNA, providing structure and stability.

Front

How do DNA and RNA differ in terms of location within a cell?

Back

DNA is primarily located in the nucleus, while RNA can be found in the nucleus and the cytoplasm.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid.

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.
