DNA&RNA

Front

What are the components of the DNA structure?

Back

DNA is composed of nucleotides, which include a sugar (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.

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, with Adenine pairing with Thymine and Guanine pairing with Cytosine.

Front

What sugar is found in RNA?

Back

RNA contains ribose sugar.

Front

What is the function of RNA polymerase?

Back

RNA polymerase is the enzyme that synthesizes RNA from a DNA template during transcription.

Front

What are nucleotides made of?

Back

Nucleotides are made of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.

Front

What is the difference 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 base pairing rule in DNA?

Back

In DNA, Adenine pairs with Thymine, and Guanine pairs with Cytosine.

Front

What is transcription in the context of genetics?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of helicase in DNA replication?

Back

Helicase unwinds the DNA double helix, separating the two strands to allow replication.

Front

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

Back

The sugar-phosphate backbone provides structural support and stability to the DNA molecule.
