RNA and Transcription

Front

What is the function of rRNA?

Back

rRNA (ribosomal RNA) makes up ribosomes, which are the sites of protein synthesis.

Front

What RNA bases pair with TACGAA during transcription?

Back

AUGCUU

Front

What process involves the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template?

Back

Transcription

Front

What is the primary role of DNA in cells?

Back

DNA contains the genetic codes for making proteins.

Front

Which of the following is NOT a difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

The type of proteins.

Front

What are the three main types of RNA?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), and rRNA (ribosomal RNA).

Front

What is mRNA and its role in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA) carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in translation?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA) brings amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

How many strands does RNA have compared to DNA?

Back

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

Front

What sugar is found in RNA?

Back

Ribose.
