    3. The purine bases are __________________ and _________________.
    4. In complimentary base pairing, _____ bonds with _____ and _____ bonds with __________.
    5. RNA is a ____________-stranded polymer.
    6. There are ___________ types of RNA each with its only function.

    Comparison of Nucleic Acids


    7. The five-carbon sugar in RNA is ___________________ whereas in DNA it is
    ______________________.
    8. In RNA the base __________________ is substituted for ___________________.
    9. DNA molecules are double stranded and RNA molecules are ________________ stranded.
    10. In terms of length, DNA molecules are much _______________ than RNA molecules.
    11. DNA is only found in the ___________________ of a cell.

    Transcription
    12. Making a messenger RNA using DNA as a
    template is called _________________.
    13. In the cytoplasm, mRNA delivers the code to
    the_______________________.

    14. To the right, construct a messenger RNA molecule


    from a DNA strand. Use the correct complimentary
    base pairing. Use colored pencils to show the DNA
    and mRNA strands.
    ● Only one side of the DNA molecule is copied
    during transcription
    ● Remember that there is no thymine in RNA.
    You must substitute uracil.

    cytoplasm to the ribosomes.
    21. One end of the tRNA is specific for a single type of
    ________________________________
    22. The other end of the tRNA contains three unpaired
    bases called an _______________
    23. Draw a labeled diagram of the “cloverleaf” shape of a Trna

    24. rRNA stands for _______________________________.
    25. rRNA forms _______________________ which are the
    sites of protein synthesis.
    26. rRNA is produced in the ________________ of the cell.
    27. Draw a labeled diagram of a ribosome
