Question
Answer
Name the three main differences between DNA and RNA   the sugar in RNA is ribose rather that deoxyribose, RNA is generally single stranded, RNA contains uracil in place of thymine  
🗑
the assembly of amino acids into proteins is controlled by _______   RNA  
🗑
name the three main types of RNA   messenger, ribosomal, transfer  
🗑
RNA molecules that carry copies of instructions for assembling amino acids into proteins are ________   messenger RNA (mRNA)  
🗑
located in ribosomes and serves to assist transcription of mRNA   ribosomal RNA (rRNA)  
🗑
type of RNA molecule that transfers each amino acid to the ribosome as it is specified by coded messages in mRNA   transfer RNA (tRNA)  
🗑
process where RNA molecules are produced by copying part of the nucleotide sequence of DNA into a complementary sequence in RNA   Transcription  
🗑
During _________, RNA polymerase binds to DNA and separates the DNA strands. RNA polymerase then uses one strand of DNA as a template from which ________ are assembled into a strand of RNA   transcription, nucleotides  
🗑
regions of DNA which have specific base sequence, signals in DNA that indicate to the enzyme where to bind to make RNA   promoters  
🗑
large pieces removed from the RNA molecules transcribed from many eukaryotic genes before they become functional   introns  
🗑
remaining portions of RNA when they are spliced back together   exons  
🗑
consists of three consecutive nucleotides that specify a single amino acid that is to be added to the polypeptide   codon  
🗑
the decoding of an mRNA message into a polypeptide chain(protein) is known as what?   translation  
🗑
translation takes place on what organelle?   ribosomes  
🗑
during _______ the cell uses information form messenger RNA to produce proteins   translation  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
