| What are the nitrogenous bases in RNA | Adenine Guanine Cytosine and Uracil |
| What is the function of RNA | This is to copy and transfer the genetic code from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes |
| How is MRNA created | This is just a copy of a gene from DNA Its created in the nucleus and it then leaves the nucleus to carry the copy of the genetic code of one gene to a ribosome in the cytoplasm. |
| Qualities of MRNA | It is much shorter than DNA so can leave nucleus It is single stranded Short lived |
| Where is TRNA found | TRNA is found in cytoplasm |
| What is TRNA shape | It is single stranded and has has a clover leaf like shape. This is held in place by hydrogen bonds |
