Presentation Transcript
Match each statement with the appropriate letter:A. DNA B. RNA C. Both___ 1. is single stranded___ 2. is a nucleic acid___ 3. contains cytosine___ 3. contains deoxyribose___ 4. has a phosphate group___ 5. is double stranded___ 6. contains uracil___ 7. contains ribose___ 8. forms a double helix___ 9. contains thymine___10. contains nitrogen
Steps in order • ____ Ribosome accepts the mRNA • ____ Unzip the DNA • ____ Stop codon is used • ____ tRNA brings amino acids to ribosome • ____ RNA polymerase makes mRNA • ____ Amino acid attaches to tRNA • ____ Amino acid breaks off tRNA • ____ Peptide bond is formed
True or False • DNA has A, U, C, G • RNA is the double helix shape • RNA has a different sugar than DNA • DNA is longer than RNA generally • DNA is in the nucleus but RNA is never in the nucleus • RNA can do many jobs • A gene is responsible for many mRNA strands
