Base Pairing speed drill DNA and RNA

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

• DNA is single-stranded and contains Thymine, while RNA is double-stranded and contains Uracil.

• DNA is double-stranded and contains Thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains Uracil.

• DNA contains Uracil and is double-stranded, while RNA contains Thymine and is single-stranded.

• DNA and RNA are identical in structure and function.

What are the base pairing rules for DNA?

• Adenine pairs with Uracil (A-U) and Cytosine pairs with Thymine (C-T).

• Adenine pairs with Thymine (A-T) and Cytosine pairs with Guanine (C-G).

• Adenine pairs with Cytosine (A-C) and Thymine pairs with Guanine (T-G).

• Adenine pairs with Guanine (A-G) and Cytosine pairs with Thymine (C-T).

What is transcription in the context of DNA and RNA?

• Transcription is the process of translating RNA into DNA.

• Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.

• Transcription is the process of synthesizing proteins from RNA.

• Transcription is the process of repairing damaged DNA.
