RNA Study Guide – Structure, Types & Protein Synthesis Comprehensive Review
Material
what is RNA? - ✔✔Ribonucleic acid.
why is RNA the central dogma? - ✔✔It act as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes.
what is RNA formed from? - ✔✔Nucleotides.
what are the basic parts of Nucleotides? - ✔✔Ribose(5-carbon sugar), a phosphate group, and
a nitrogenous base.
what's the differences between DNA & RNA? - ✔✔RNA is single stranded, it uses Uracil instead
of Thymine, it uses ribose instead of deoxyribose.
what are the 3 types of RNA? - ✔✔mRNA, tRNA, rRNA.
what does mRNA do? - ✔✔(messenger RNA) Carries protein-building instruction.
what does tRNA do? - ✔✔(transfer RNA) Delivers amino acids to ribose.
what does rRNA do? - ✔✔(ribosomal RNA) Major component of ribosomes.
What is RNA transcription? - ✔✔Process by which a segment of DNA is copied into a
complementary strand of RNA.
What does the helicase do? - ✔✔Unwinds and unzips the DNA molecule.
