RNA differs from DNA in that RNA:

• is sometimes single stranded
• contains the nitrogen base uracil
• contains the sugar ribose
• All of the above

The RNA type that delivers amino acids to the ribosomes during protein synthesis.

• tRNA
• Codon
• Promoter
• Amino Acid
• nucleus

A series of three mRNA nucleotides that code for a specific amino acid

• Codon
• Promoter
• Amino Acid
• nucleus
• Protein

The anticodon ACA would...

• be paired with the mRNA codon UGU

• be paired with the mRNA codon TGT

• be paired with the mRNA codon TGT

• be paired with the mRNA codon ACA

A region on the tRNA containing the complementary base sequence that binds to a specific mRNA codon

• Anticodon
• Codon
• Promoter
• Amino Acid
• nucleus

Which piece of DNA was this mRNA transcribed from? mRNA → CUC- AAG- UGC- UUC
