DNA and RNA

Difference between DNA and RNA

• DNA is a single strand, while RNA is a double strand

• DNA has adenine binding with thymine, while RNA has adenine binding with Uracil

• DNA has adenine binding with uracil, while RNA has adenine binding with thymine

• DNA has two strand, while RNA is a single strand

What is RNA???

• Ribonucleic Acid

• Not involved in making proteins

• Composed of phosphate, sugar and nitrogen base

• Composed of Nucleotides

• All of the Above

What is mRNA???

• Messenger RNA

• Carries genetic information from the DNA (in the nucleus) to the ribosome's (in the cytoplasm)

• 2 mRNA nucleotides in a row make a CODON

• None of the Above

• All of the Above

What is rRNA???

• Ribosomal RNA

• RNA present in ribosomes

• Found in nucleus

• Binds to the mRNA

• Creates only the P site and the A site on the m(RNA), the two step series of a codon

What is tRNA???

• Brings the amino acids to the ribosomes (Carrier)

• Found in the Cytoplasm

• Acts as the interpreter translating the nucleotides on the mRNA into amino acids

• All of the Above

• None of the Above

What are the two important parts of tRNA?

• Amino Acids (Protein Part), what it carries

• Anticodon, three nucleotides on the tRNA

• Two of the Above

• None of the Above

Gene Expression

• One stage is transcription

• The process by which DNA directs protein synthesis

• One stage is translation

• Two of the above

• None of the above
