Final

Question 1

RNA vs DNA

Answer 1

ribose vs. deoxyribose, single stranded vs. double stranded, uracil vs. thymine

Question 2

RNA vs DNA’s nitrogenous bases

Answer 2

When RNA complements an A in DNA, it uses a U instead of a T!

Question 3

Three types of RNA

Answer 3

messenger RNA, transfer RNA, ribosomal RNA

Question 4

Messenger RNA

Answer 4

Copy of the portion of DNA that will be used to make a protein. After being made in the nucleus, mRNA travels to the cytoplasm

Question 5

Cytoplasm

Answer 5

Site of protein synthesis

Question 6

Ribosomal RNA

Answer 6

RNA that combines with proteins to form ribosomes. These ribosomes, made up of two protein subunits, synthesize MORE proteins

Question 7

What do ribosomes consist of?

Answer 7

ribosomal RNA and protein (80 different)

Question 8

Transfer RNA

Answer 8

During protein synthesis, tRNA carry amino acids from the cytoplasm to the mRNA

Question 9

RNA synthesis: transcription

Answer 9

RNA polymerase uses one strand of DNA as a template to produce nucleotides and assembled into a complementary mRNA molecule strand.

Question 10

Prokaryote RNA + Protein synthesis

Answer 10

BOTH take place in cytoplasm

Question 11

Eukaryote RNA + Protein synthesis

Answer 11

mRNA produced in the nucleus AND THEN moved to cytoplasm for protein synthesis
