Question

name:______ amoeba sisters video recap: dna vs. rna & protein synthesis updated whose show is this? dna shouldnt get all the credit! for this portion, check out the amoeba sisters dna vs. rna video. then, write \d\ if for dna,
\ if for rna, or \both\ if it pertains to both dna and rna. 1.____ i am a nucleic acid. 2.__ i am usually single - stranded. 3.__ i am generally found both inside and outside of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells. 4.__ i am arranged as a double helix, and my shape is often described as a \twisted ladder.\ 5.__ i include bases guanine, cytosine, and adenine. 6.__ each of my nucleotides includes a phosphate, sugar, and base. 7.__ i include the base uracil. 8.__ i include the base thymine. 9.__ i generally remain in the nucleus in eukaryotic cells. 10.__ i have the sugar deoxyribose. 11.__ i am made up of nucleotides. 12.__ i have the sugar ribose. for the following discussed rna types, complete the missing information in the boxes below. some boxes have been filled in for you. type: mrna 13. type: __ 14. type: __ stands for: stands for: stands for: 15.__ 16.____ transfer rna sketch to help you remember: sketch to help you remember: sketch to help you remember: 17. 18. general function: general function: general function: transfers amino acids to are of protein synthesis.

Explanation:

1. Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids.
2. RNA is usually single - stranded.
3. RNA is found both inside and outside the nucleus in eukaryotic cells.
4. DNA has a double - helix structure.
5. Both DNA and RNA have guanine, cytosine, and adenine.
6. Both are made of nucleotides with phosphate, sugar, and base.
7. Uracil is in RNA.
8. Thymine is in DNA.
9. DNA generally stays in the nucleus in eukaryotic cells.
10. DNA has deoxyribose sugar.
11. Both are made of nucleotides.
12. RNA has ribose sugar.

For RNA types: mRNA stands for messenger RNA. rRNA (in 13) stands for ribosomal RNA and is a major component of ribosomes. tRNA (in 14) has been filled as transfer RNA.

Answer:

1. BOTH
2. R
3. R
4. D
5. BOTH
6. BOTH
7. R
8. D
9. D
10. D
11. BOTH
12. R
13. rRNA
14. tRNA
15. Messenger RNA
16. Ribosomal RNA
17. Sketch can be a line representing a message being carried (varies, can be creative to represent 'messenger')
18. Sketch can be a clover - leaf shape which is the typical structure representation of tRNA (varies, can be creative to represent transfer)
19. Carries genetic information from DNA to ribosomes for protein synthesis
20. A major component of ribosomes and helps in protein synthesis (the site of protein synthesis)
