  • What are some differences between DNA and RNA?
    DNA is double-stranded, contains thymine, and has deoxyribose sugar, while RNA is single-stranded, contains uracil, and has ribose sugar.
  • Which of the following is a difference between DNA and RNA?
    RNA contains uracil, whereas DNA contains thymine.
  • What features can we find on a tRNA molecule?
    A tRNA molecule has an anticodon loop and an amino acid attachment site.
  • What are the three main types of RNA? Describe their roles.
    mRNA carries genetic information, rRNA forms ribosomes, and tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome.
  • Which of the following statements accurately describes a difference between DNA and RNA?
    RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil, while DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine.
  • How are DNA and RNA molecules alike?
    Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids composed of nucleotides.
  • Which of the following types of RNA codes for a protein?
    mRNA codes for a protein.
  • What are the three types of RNA and their functions?
    mRNA carries genetic information, rRNA forms ribosomes, and tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome.
  • What are some key differences between DNA and RNA?
    DNA is double-stranded, contains thymine, and has deoxyribose sugar, while RNA is single-stranded, contains uracil, and has ribose sugar.
  • What are the three main differences between DNA and RNA?
    DNA is double-stranded, contains thymine, and has deoxyribose sugar, while RNA is single-stranded, contains uracil, and has ribose sugar.
  • What molecule contains the anti-codon?
    tRNA contains the anti-codon.
  • Which type(s) of RNA is(are) involved in protein synthesis?
    mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA are involved in protein synthesis.
  • Which molecule contains anticodons?
    tRNA contains anticodons.
  • Which of the following is the primary function of an RNA molecule?
    The primary function of RNA is to facilitate protein synthesis.
  • In RNA, which base pairs with adenine?
    In RNA, adenine pairs with uracil.
  • Which of the following is not a major difference between DNA and RNA?
    Both DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
  • What are the four types of RNA and how do they function?
    The four types of RNA are mRNA, rRNA, tRNA, and small RNA, each with roles in protein synthesis and regulation.
  • In which of the following ways does RNA differ from DNA?
    RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil, while DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine.
  • Which of the following is true of tRNAs?
    tRNAs carry amino acids and contain anticodons complementary to mRNA codons.
  • On which molecule can we find an anticodon?
    Anticodons are found on tRNA molecules.
  • What type of RNA brings in the correct amino acid to the ribosome?
    tRNA brings in the correct amino acid to the ribosome.
  • Anticodons are found on which type of molecule?
    Anticodons are found on tRNA molecules.
  • What is the job of tRNA?
    tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome and pairs its anticodon with mRNA codons.
  • What type of RNA combines with proteins to form a ribosome?
    rRNA combines with proteins to form a ribosome.
  • Where is RNA found?
    RNA is found in the nucleus and cytoplasm of cells.
  • What are the roles of tRNA and rRNA?
    tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome, while rRNA forms the structural core of ribosomes.
  • What type of sugar is found in RNA?
    Ribose sugar is found in RNA.
  • What type of RNA carries amino acids to the ribosome?
    tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome.
  • What type(s) of RNA are involved in translation?
    mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA are involved in translation.
  • What is the function of a tRNA molecule?
    tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome and pairs its anticodon with mRNA codons.
  • Which structure contains the anticodon?
    The anticodon is contained within the tRNA structure.
  • How many different RNA molecules can be made by bonding five nucleotides together?
    The number of different RNA molecules that can be made depends on the sequence of the five nucleotides.
  • What is one difference between RNA and DNA?
    RNA contains uracil, whereas DNA contains thymine.
  • How many different RNA molecules can be made by bonding four nucleotides together?
    The number of different RNA molecules that can be made depends on the sequence of the four nucleotides.
  • What is not a difference between DNA and RNA?
    Both DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
  • Which of these accurately describes a difference between DNA and RNA?
    RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil, while DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine.
  • Which amino acid does this tRNA carry?
    The amino acid carried by tRNA depends on the anticodon sequence.
  • Where is the anticodon found?
    The anticodon is found on tRNA molecules.
  • Where are anticodons found?
    Anticodons are found on tRNA molecules.
  • What is the major structural difference between DNA and RNA?
    DNA is double-stranded, while RNA is single-stranded.
