How could you test each module to determine if it was DNA or RNA?

• You could test for the presence of uracil or thymine.

• You could test for evidence of one stran or two.

• You could test for what sugar molecule one had.

• All

_____________ ______________ carries the genetic information in DNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.

• Messenger RNA

• Transfer RNA

The order of DNA’s nitrogen bases tells the cell what proteins to make.

• What DNA does

• What RNA does

• What tRNA does

• What mRNA does

Although they are only _____ amino acids, cells can combine them in different ways to form thousands of different proteins.

• 20

• 10

• 30

• 50

You can think of the 20 amino acids as being like the 26 letter of the alphabet. Those 26 letters can be used to form thousand of words. The letter you use and their order determine the words you form. Just as a change in the type or order of amino acids can result in a different protein.

• True

• False
