| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| how many strands does DNA have | 2 double |
| how many strands does RNA have | 1 single |
| where is DNA located in the cell | nucleus; doesn't move out |
| where is RNA located in the cell | nucleus and cytoplasm (only mRNA moves out of the cytoplasm; tRNA and mRNA in cytoplasm |
| nitrogen bases of DNA | A-T, G-C |
| nitrogen bases of RNA | A-U, G-C |
| sugar in DNA is | deoxyribose |
| sugar in RNA is | ribose |
| shape of DNA | double helix (helical/ spiral) |
| shape of RNA | straight; loop |
| functions of DNA | stores info about cell and for protein synthesis, contains genetic instruction used in development and functioning organs, involved in trancription |
| functions of RNA | carries info from DNA (codon) to the ribosome in the cytoplasm for protein synthesis; carries amino acid, involved in transcription (mRNA), an translation(mRNA, tRNA, rRNA), have codon (mRNA), and anticodon (tRNA) |
| Catabolic | breaking down ex: digestion |
| Anabolic | building up ex: photosynthesis |
| whats a codon | 3 nitrogen bases |
| structure of mRNA | straight; single chain |
| structure of tRNA | single chain with loop like clover shape |
| location of mRNA | nucleus, moves into the cytoplasm |
| location of tRNA | in cytoplasm |
| special functions of mRNA | carries the codon, codon- 3 nucleotide sequence complementary to DNA strand being trancribed, involved in protein stynthesis (trascription and translation) |
| special functions of tRNA | carries the amino acid and the anticodon, anticodon- 3 nucleotide sequence complementary to mRNA, involved in protein synthesis and translation |
