Structure of RNA
Cards in this deck (9)
- 1Name the three components of RNA structure.Ribose Sugar
Phosphate
Base - can be Adenine, Uracil, Guanine and Cytosine - 2Describe the structure of tRNAtRNA is a single stranded chain folded into a clover leaf shape. One end extends further than the other.
- 3In tRNA one end of the chain, extends beyond the other. Why is this?This is because it is the area where an amino acid can attach
- 4On the tRNA molecule, opposite to the end of the chains where the amino acid attaches, there is an area which carries the complementary bases to a codon on mRNA. What is this area called?Anti-Codon
- 5The mRNA base sequence is determined by the DNA base sequence in what process?Transcription
- 6Describe the feature of the structure of mRNAmRNA is a single long strand that is coiled into a single helix
- 7Fill in the blanks: Once formed, mRNA leaves the ________ through nuclear _______ and enters the ___________.Once formed, mRNA leaves the NUCLEUS through nuclear PORES and enters the CYTOPLASM.
- 8What form of protein is mRNA associated with?Ribosomes
- 9mRNA processes information into codons. What is a codon?A codon is 3 bases complementary to a DNA triplet
