DNA : The Roles Of DNA, DNA And DNA

Decent Essays

In a RNA nucleotide the organic bases can be uracil, adenine, guanine or cytosine. Where as in a DNA nucleotide there can be thymine, adenine, guanine or cytosine. In RNA the pairs are UA or CG and in DNA the pairs are TA or CG.
Also in DNA the five-carbon sugar is deoxyribose and in RNA the five-carbon sugar is ribose.
P1 task 2
DNA: DNA is what is inside the nucleus of mostly all cells. It carries the genetic information which is what gives a living thing specific trait such ad brown hair or the amount of pigment in our skin. It is a double stranded molecule made of nucleotides which are made from a nitrogenous/ organic base, deoxyribose (a 5-carbon sugar) and a phosphate> mRNA: mRNA is also known as messenger RNA. Like the other RNA molecules, it is a single stranded molecule and its role is to transport the coding information from the DNA to the place of protein synthesis, the ribosomes. tRNA: TRNA is also known as transfer RNA. tRNA is the rna molecule that picks up a specific codon and brings it to the correct amino acid. It is a single stranded molecule. rRNA: rRNA is a single stranded molecule and it is the substance that ribosomes are made from. The ribosomes are made of two parts, the large subunit and the small subunit. (1)

Triplet code: is the code in which DNA is written in that is made up of the different nitrogenous bases.
Codon: is a sequence of three nucleotides that makeup DNA and RNA.
Anticodon: is the set of three nucleotides on the tRNA
