Below are some terms that may either be a characteristic of DNA or RNA. Sort the characteristics in the most correct group. DNA Double Strand Deoxyribose is the sugar Can be found only in the nucleus 100's of 1,000's of nucleotides Contains the unique nitrogenous base Thymine RNA Single Strand Contains the unique nitrogenous base Uracil Ribose is the sugar Can be found in the cytoplasm and nucleus 100's of nucleotides Below is a base sequence for a DNA moleculeATCGATWhat are the base pairs for this sequence when converting from a DNA molecule to an RNA molecue? UACGUA UAGCUA AUCGAU TACGTA Nucleic acids are made of many.... Nucleotides Amino Acids Tryglicerides Glucose Proteins are made up of multiple sub-units called... Nucleic Acids Ribosomes Amino Acids Nucleotides Match the type of mRNA with its correct function mRNA Copy's a specific sequence in DNA and leaves the nucleus to the ribosome to be read. tRNA Transports amino acids to the ribosome and links them together to form a protein rRNA Attaches to a protein to make the ribosome Below is a list of terms and phrases that either has to do with transcription or translation. Please place the correct term under the correct protein synthesis process. Transcription DNA-> RNA Occurs in the Nucleus mRNA is involved Copying of genetic code Translation Occurs at the ribosome tRNA is involved RNA-> Proteins Linking amino acids together How is a codon similar to an anticodon? How are they different? Fill out the blank spaces with the correct terms. All terms can be found in the word bank below. Only click on the spaces with the blue dots on them. DNA, mRNA, Nucleus, Cytoplasm,Amino Acid Chain, tRNA, Codon,Anticodon, Ribosome, Translation,Transcription, Protein Nucleus DNA Transcription mRNA Codon Anticodon Ribosome tRNA Protein Translation Cytoplasm Amino Acid How is a cookbook similar to DNA and a recipe similar to RNA? Use the image below to answer the following question. Using the picture above, determine the amino acid sequence for the DNA sequence below.TACCGAGTTATC
