    The document discusses the key differences between DNA and RNA. It notes that DNA contains deoxyribose sugar and thymine, while RNA contains ribose sugar and uracil. DNA forms a double helix structure and is found in the nucleus, while RNA is single-stranded and can be found in the cytoplasm. There are three main types of RNA - mRNA, rRNA and tRNA - each with different cellular functions like carrying genetic instructions or joining with amino acids. Overall, the document provides a detailed overview of the molecular structures and roles of DNA and RNA in cells.

    DNA and RNA Worksheet

    ∙ What is the entire molecule to the right called? Nucleotide

    ∙ Name 2 purines. Adenine, Guanine

    ∙ Name 2 pyrimidines. Thymine, Cytosine

    DNA:

    ∙ DNA stands for. Deoxyribonucleic Acid

    ∙ DNA is located in the nucleus of the cell, and makes up the genetic information found there. ∙

    A DNA molecule is made up of long chains of nucleotides. A DNA nucleotide consists of a phosphate group, a

    5-carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base.

    ∙ In DNA, the four bases are cytosine, guanine, adenine, and thymine. These bases are called complimentary bases as Adenine (A)

    bonds only with thymine (T) and Guanine (G) bonds only with cytosine (c).

    ∙ The double-stranded DNA structure is called a double helix.

    ∙ The sides of the DNA “ladder” are made up of deoxyribose sugar and phosphate backbone.

    ∙ The rungs of the DNA “ladder” are made up of the nitrogen bases

    ∙ Why is DNA called the "Blueprint of Life"? They contain instructions needed for an organism to grow, develop, survive, and
    reproduce.

    RNA:

    ∙ RNA stands for Ribonucleic Acid. RNA moves genetic information from DNA in the nucleus, to the cytoplasm of the cell and is

    involved in many cellular activities like the building of proteins.

    ∙ RNA contains a 5 Carbon sugar called ribose.

    ∙ An RNA molecule is made up of long chains of nucleotides. An RNA nucleotide consists of a carbon ribose sugar, and,

    phosphate, and a nitrogenous base.

    ∙ In RNA, the bases are cytosine (C), guanine (G), adenine (A), and uracil (U). These bases are called complimentary

    bases as Adenine bonds only with uracil (U) and Guanine bonds only with cytosine (C).

    ∙ What are the three types of RNA and their functions? Messenger RNA (mRNA) serves as temporary copies of the information found

    in DNA. Ribosomal RNA serves as structural components of protein-making structures known as ribosomes. Transfer RNA

    (tRNA) ferret amino acids to the ribosome to be assembled.

    ∙ What places in the cell would you find RNA? (and what types are where?) Cytoplasm - rRNA, tRNA and Nucleus-mRNA
    DNA vs RNA:
    ∙ DNA and RNA are both this type of macromolecule: nucleic acids

    ∙ The single stranded nucleic acid is RNA.

    ∙ The double stranded nucleic acid is DNA.

    ∙ What are the two differences that can be found in a DNA and RNA nucleotide? The DNA contains deoxyribose sugar
    while RNA contains sugar ribose. DNA contains thymine while RNA contains uracil.

    ∙ Only RNA can be found outside of the nucleus. Why do you think that is? It is because the cell is very small and
    organisms have many DNA molecules per cell, each DNA molecule must be tightly packaged.
