RNA – Ribonucleic Acid Study Guide: Structure, Types & Protein Synthesis
Overview
What type of sugar is found RNA? - ✔✔-ribose
What type of sugar is found in DNA? - ✔✔-deoxyribose
How many strands does RNA generally have? - ✔✔-one
What bases does RNA include? - ✔✔-adenine, uracil, guanine, cytosine
What is the role mRNA? - ✔✔-carries instructions of polypeptide synthesis from nucleus to
ribosomes in the cytoplasm
What is the role rRNA? - ✔✔-forms an important part of both subunits of the ribosome
What is the role of tRNA? - ✔✔-carries amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the
coded mRNA message
What is transcription? - ✔✔-the process of using DNA to produce complementary RNA
molecules
The sequence of what in mRNA complements the sequence in the the DNA template? - ✔✔-
bases
In eukaryotes, where is RNA formed? Afterwards, where does it travel? - ✔✔-in the nucleus
-to the cytoplasm
