RNA• Name: Ribonucleic acid • Nitrogen bases: A-U-C-G (adenine, uracil, cytosine,
guanine) • Structure: single - strand of nucleotides • Sugar: ribose (5-carbon sugar) • Function: to carry the DNA code to the ribosomes• Number of types: 3 • Names of the types: mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA • Codon: 3 nitrogen bases that code for an amino acid• Transcription; transferring DNA code onto mRNA • Why is RNA important? Without RNA there would
not be instructions for making proteins at the ribosomes in cells.
List the differences
1. Single RNA/double DNA 2. Uracil (RNA) Thymine (DNA) 3. Ribose = RNA sugar Deoxyribose = DNA sugar4. GAUC = RNA bases GATC = DNA bases
DNARNA
List the similarities 1. PHOSPHATE/SUGAR SIDES 2. MADE OF NUCLEOTIDES 3. 5-CARBON SUGAR 4. NUCLEIC ACIDS
DNARNA
What is codon? 3 NITROGEN BASES on mRNA THAT CODE FOR AN AMINO ACID
mRNA•Nucleic Acid•Single-stranded•Made in nucleus as a result of transcription•Travels to ribosome with transcribed DNA code•Called messenger RNA
rRNA• Made of a large and a small unit that come together for protein synthesis•Found in the cytoplasm• Translates the mRNA code to amino acid code in making proteins• Called ribosomal RNA
AMINO ACID
tRNA
ANTICODON
tRNA• Small coiled RNA with three unmatched bases• Found in the cytoplasm• Carries amino acid to ribosome • Called transfer RNA
Use proper base pairing to complete DNA and mRNA
