One difference between DNA and RNA is that....

RNA can leave the nucleus, while DNA cannot leave the nucleus.

DNA contains the sugar ribose, while RNA contains the sugar deoxyribose.

DNA is single stranded, while RNA is double stranded.

RNA contains the nitrogen base Thymine, while DNA contains the nitrogen base Uracil.

Why are proteins important?

Proteins provide us with a quick source of energy.

Proteins provide instructions for the cell.

Proteins provide us with long-term energy storage.

Proteins are responsible for building our physical traits.

The image below illustrates the first step of Protein Synthesis.
What is the purpose of this process?

To make mRNA copy of the DNA genetic code.

To replicate the DNA during S phase of the cell cycle.

To produce a new combination of genes that have never been seen before.

To translate the mRNA into a sequence of Amino Acids.

Suppose a cell is exposed to a chemical that inhibits RNA polymerase. What would be the most immediate effect on the cell?

DNA replication would stop

Transcription would not occur, so no new mRNA would be made

Proteins would be synthesized faster

The cell would divide more rapidly

What does transcription look like?

Use each item ONE time.

A mutation causes RNA to have thymine instead of uracil. How might this affect the function of RNA in the cell?

RNA would function normally

RNA might not be recognized properly during translation

DNA replication would be affected

The cell would produce more RNA
