Question

amoeba sisters video recap: dna vs. rna & protein synthesis updated
whose show is this?
dna shouldnt get all the credit! for this portion, check out the amoeba sisters dna vs. rna video.
then, write \d\ if for dna,
\ if for rna, or \both\ if it pertains to both dna and rna.

1. i am a nucleic acid.
2. i am usually single - stranded.
3. i am generally found both inside and outside of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells.
4. i am arranged as a double helix, and my shape is often described as a \twisted ladder.\
5. i include bases guanine, cytosine, and adenine.
6. each of my nucleotides includes a phosphate, sugar, and base.
7. i include the base uracil.
8. i include the base thymine.
9. i generally remain in the nucleus in eukaryotic cells.
10. i have the sugar deoxyribose.
11. i am made up of nucleotides.
12. i have the sugar ribose

Explanation:

1. Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids.
2. RNA is usually single - stranded.
3. RNA is found both inside (during transcription) and outside (in the cytoplasm for translation) of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells.
4. DNA has a double - helix structure.
5. Both DNA and RNA have guanine, cytosine, and adenine as bases.
6. Both DNA and RNA nucleotides have a phosphate, sugar, and base.
7. Uracil is only in RNA.
8. Thymine is only in DNA.
9. DNA generally remains in the nucleus in eukaryotic cells.
10. Deoxyribose is in DNA.
11. Both DNA and RNA are made up of nucleotides.
12. Ribose is in RNA.
