RNA

Question 1

what does RNA do

Answer 1

transfers genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes.

Question 2

what does RNA stand for

Answer 2

RiboNucleic Acid

Question 3

what are the 3 types of RNA

Answer 3

messenger
transfer
Ribosomal

Question 4

what does Messenger RNA do

Answer 4

Carries the genetic code from dna to the ribosomes (protein synthesis).
The coding sequence from the mRNA determines the order for the amino acids to be put together

Question 5

what is transfer RNA

Answer 5

A small chain of about 80 nucleotides that translates the genetic information from mRNA into a sequence of amino acids, this builds proteins for specific functions. It does this by carrying the amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosome.

Question 6

what does Ribosomal rna do

Answer 6

Within the ribosome. binds tRNA and mRNA to create peptide bonds that link the amino acids to form proteins

Question 7

ribosomes read RNA to make what?

Answer 7

polypeptides (proteins)

Question 8

what are the 3 components of RNA

Answer 8

nucleotides with ribose sugar​
A phosphate group​
A base

Question 9

what is an anticodon in tRNA

Answer 9

a sequence of three nucleotides on transfer RNA that binds to a complementary codon on messenger RNA (mRNA) during protein synthesis

Question 10

what does tRNA look like

Answer 10

a folded clover shape

Question 11

where is tRNA found

Answer 11

in cytoplasm

Question 12

when is mRNA made

Answer 12

during transcription​

Question 13

what is mRNA made of

Answer 13

Single polynucleotide strand​
Groups of three adjacent bases

Question 14

what are the 4 letters in RNA

Answer 14

a, u, c, g
