One difference between DNA and RNA is that....

• Only RNA has the base Uracil
• only RNA contains the base Thymine
• only RNA contains the base Cytocine
• only RNA contained the base Guanine

The process represented in the diagram produces a molecule that is complementary to the template strand of DNA. What type of molecule is produced?

• New DNA
• Polypeptide
• Messenger RNA
• Carbohydrate

what does mRNA do?

• carry info from genes to ribosomes
• carry amino acids to ribosomes
• help with RNA splicing
• make up ribosomes

A triplet of mRNA is called a

• codon
• anticodon
• amino acid
• peptide bond
