Question

5 true or false 10 points nucleotides are the monomers for both dna and rna. true false 6 matching 20 points match the nucleic acid to its correct function. dna trna mrna rrna transfers amino acids to match the correct codon. it is a major component of ribosomes. it stores genetic information. carries code for making proteins from dna to ribosomes.

Explanation:

Question 5

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are nucleic acids. Nucleotides are the building - blocks (monomers) of nucleic acids. A nucleotide consists of a pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

• DNA: It stores genetic information. It contains the instructions for the development, functioning, and reproduction of all living organisms.
• tRNA (transfer RNA): Its function is to transfer amino acids to match the correct codon. During protein synthesis, tRNA brings the appropriate amino acid to the ribosome based on the mRNA codon.
• mRNA (messenger RNA): Carries the code for making proteins from DNA to ribosomes. It is transcribed from DNA and then translated into a protein sequence.
• rRNA (ribosomal RNA): It is a major component of ribosomes. Ribosomes, which are made up of rRNA and proteins, are the sites of protein synthesis.

Answer:

True
