Amoeba Sisters Video Recap: DNA vs. RNA & Protein Synthesis UPDATED Whose Show Is This? DNA shouldn’t get all the credit! For this portion, check out the Amoeba Sisters DNA vs. RNA video. Then, write “D” if for DNA, “R” if for RNA, or “BOTH” if it pertains to both DNA and RNA. B 1._________ I am a nucleic acid. R 2._________ I am usually single-stranded. R 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.” D B 5._________ I include bases guanine, cytosine, and adenine. B 6._________ Each of my nucleotides includes a phosphate, sugar, and base 7._________ I include the base uracil. R D 8._________ I include the base thymine. D 9._________ I generally remain in the nucleus [in eukaryotic cells]. D 10.________ I have the sugar deoxyribose. 11.________ I am made up of nucleotides. B R 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 RRNA 13. Type: ______________________ TRNA 14. Type: ______________________ Stands for: Stands for: Stands for: messenger RNA 15.___________________________ ribosomal RNA 16. ___________________________ Sketch to Help You Remember: 17. Sketch to Help You Remember: Transfer RNA Sketch to Help you Remember: 18. composed of… (and proteins) General Function: To transport of copied DNA 19.___________________________ out of the nucleus. ______________________________ General Function: General Function: 20.___________________________ Transfers amino acids [to area of protein synthesis]. ______________________________
