Question 8

what is RNa

Answer 8

RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) is a single-stranded nucleic acid involved in protein synthesis and carrying genetic information

Question 9

what is mRNA

Answer 9

carries genetic code from DNA to ribosomes

Question 10

What are the differences between DNA and RNA?

Answer 10

DNa: double stranded, stores genetic info, in the nucleas

RNa: single stranded, transfers genetic info and helps in protein synthesis, in nucleas and cytoplasm

Question 11

What is transcription

Answer 11

Transcription is the process of copying a gene’s DNA sequence into messenger RNA (mRNA).

Purpose: mRNA carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Question 12

What is translation

Answer 12

Translation is the process of converting the mRNA sequence into a chain of amino acids to make a protein,
To build proteins based on the DNA code carried by mRNA.
