DNA and RNA

Front

What are the building blocks of DNA?

Back

Nucleotides are the units that are repeatedly joined together to form a strand of DNA.

Front

What sugar is found in RNA?

Back

RNA contains the sugar ribose.

Front

How is a DNA molecule structured?

Back

A DNA molecule is structured as a double helix.

Front

What is a key difference between DNA and RNA regarding nitrogenous bases?

Back

RNA contains uracil in place of thymine.

Front

What are the base-pairing rules in DNA?

Back

The base-pairing rules are A-T and C-G.

Front

What is the role of nucleotides in DNA?

Back

Nucleotides serve as the basic units of DNA, encoding genetic information.

Front

What is the primary function of RNA?

Back

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

Front

What are the three types of RNA?

Back

The three types of RNA are messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA).

Front

What is the difference between ribose and deoxyribose?

Back

Ribose is a sugar found in RNA, while deoxyribose is a sugar found in DNA.

Front

What is the significance of the double helix structure of DNA?

Back

The double helix structure allows for the stable storage of genetic information and facilitates replication.
