MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
30 sec • 1 pt
RNA has which sugar instead of deoxyribose?
ribose sugar
no sugars
trioxyribose sugar
a phosphate backbone
Answer explanation
RNA contains ribose sugar, which differs from DNA that has deoxyribose. This ribose sugar is essential for the structure and function of RNA.

How is DNA different from RNA?
DNA is single stranded while RNA is double stranded
RNA is single stranded while DNA is double stranded
They are exactly the same
RNA uses thymine while DNA uses uracil
Answer explanation
RNA is single stranded while DNA is double stranded, which is a key structural difference. Additionally, DNA contains thymine, whereas RNA contains uracil, but the main distinction is their strand structure.

Which nucleotide is found only in DNA?
thymine
uracil
adenine
guanine
Answer explanation
Thymine is a nucleotide that is unique to DNA, while uracil is found only in RNA. Adenine and guanine are present in both DNA and RNA. Therefore, thymine is the correct answer.

Transcribed copy of a DNA sequence made to leave the nucleus
mRNA
rRNA
tRNA
RNA
Answer explanation
mRNA, or messenger RNA, is the transcribed copy of DNA that carries genetic information from the nucleus to the ribosome for protein synthesis, making it the correct answer.

Form ribosomes
mRNA
tRNA
rRNA
RNA
Answer explanation
Ribosomes are formed from ribosomal RNA (rRNA), which combines with proteins to create the ribosomal structure essential for protein synthesis. mRNA and tRNA play roles in translation, but rRNA is the key component of ribosomes.

DRAG AND DROP QUESTION
30 sec • 1 pt
rRNA means (a) .
ribosomal RNA
ribose RNA
replication RNA
rescue RNA
Answer explanation
rRNA stands for ribosomal RNA, which is a crucial component of ribosomes, the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis. The other options do not accurately describe rRNA.
