Categorize the follwing into the two categories

  • has uracil as a base
  • single-stranded
  • has thymine as a base
  • double-stranded

  • has the sugar deoxyribose
  • has the sugar ribose
  • Exists in the nucleus of a cell only
  • DNA
  • RNA

Categorize the functions of the different types of RNA

  • is made directly from DNA and then leaves the nucleus and carries the messages to the ribosomes.
  • Ribsomes make proteins. But ribsomes are also made of this special type of RNA.
  • brings amino acids to the codon on DNA so that a polypeptide protein can be made
  • tRNA (transfer RNA)
  • mRNA (messenger RNA)
  • rRNA (ribomsomal RNA)

Draw what DNA looks like vs. RNA.
Here is a link to a great diagram of what I am looking for:
https://www.thoughtco.com/dna-versus-rna-608191
* ^You can basically use it to help draw your own diagram.

You Diagram must:
- Have a drawing of both DNA and RNA
- Have the following labels in appropriate places
  • Deoxyribonucleic acid
  • Ribonucleic acid
  • Ribose
  • Deoxyribose
  • Usually single stranded
  • Double stranded
  • Thymine base
  • Cytosine base
  • Guanine base
  • Adenine base
  • Uracil base
  • Mr. Guesno is awesome!!
