2
What sugar does RNA contain?
RNA contains ribose sugar instead of deoxyribose.
New cards
3
What base does RNA have instead of thymine?
RNA has uracil (U) instead of thymine (T).
New cards
4
What is the function of Messenger RNA (mRNA)?
mRNA copies genetic instructions from DNA and carries them to the cytoplasm.
New cards
5
What is the role of Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?
rRNA helps form ribosomes, where proteins are assembled.
New cards
6
What is the function of Transfer RNA (tRNA)?
tRNA brings amino acids to ribosomes for protein synthesis.
New cards
7
List the three types of RNA essential for protein synthesis.
Messenger RNA (mRNA), Ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and Transfer RNA (tRNA).
New cards
8
What are the main differences between RNA and DNA?
RNA differs in structure (single vs double stranded), sugar composition (ribose vs deoxyribose), and nitrogen bases (uracil vs thymine).
