DNA Replication & RNA
Match the type of RNA on the left with the correct function on the right.
mRNA
rRNA
tRNA
carries instructions for protein synthesis from the nucleus to the cytoplasm
carries amino acids to the ribosome and mtches them to the coded mRNA message
forms an important part of the ribosome
Which of these follows the correct base-pairing rules for DNA?
In order to make a protein, the DNA of a gene first has to be transcribed into
One strand of DNA has the following base sequence:
CTA TTT CAA CGC TCG GCG TAG CAT
What would be the base sequence on the opposite strand of DNA?
Move the characteristics on the left to the correct category on the right.
found in cells
contains deoxyribose
contains ribose
contains the base Uracil (U)
contains the base Thymine (T)
made up of nucleotides
type of nucleic acid
moves into the cytoplasm
found only in the nucleus
BOTH DNA & RNA
RNA only
DNA only
Match the enzyme on the left with the correct step of DNA replication on the right
DNA polymerase
DNA helicase
"unzips" the DNA molecule into two separate strands
adds free nucleotides to the original strands of nucleotides using base-pairing rules.
