amoeha 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. for the following discussed rna types, complete the missing information in the boxes below. some boxes have been filled in for you. type: mrna 13. type: 14. type: stands for: stands for: stands for: 15. 16. transfer rna sketch to help you remember: sketch to help you remember: sketch to help you remember: 17. 18. composed of... rrna (and proteins) general function: general function: general function: transfers amino acids to area of protein synthesis. 19. 20. amoeba sisters

Explanation:

1. Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids.
2. RNA is usually single - stranded.
3. RNA is found both inside and outside the nucleus in eukaryotic cells.
4. DNA is arranged as a double helix.
5. Both DNA and RNA have guanine, cytosine, and adenine.
6. Both DNA and RNA nucleotides have phosphate, sugar, and base.
7. RNA has uracil.
8. DNA has thymine.
9. DNA generally remains in the nucleus.
10. DNA has deoxyribose.
11. Both DNA and RNA are made of nucleotides.
12. RNA has ribose.
13. The type is rRNA (ribosomal RNA).
14. The type is tRNA (transfer RNA).
15. mRNA stands for messenger RNA.
16. rRNA stands for ribosomal RNA.
17. A sketch for mRNA could be a long strand (representing the message).
18. A sketch for tRNA could be a clover - leaf shape.
19. mRNA's general function is to carry genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.
20. rRNA's general function is to be part of the ribosome (where protein synthesis occurs).
