Structure of RNA

Pregunta	Respuesta
Name the three components of RNA structure.	Ribose Sugar Phosphate Base - can be Adenine, Uracil, Guanine and Cytosine
Describe the structure of tRNA	tRNA is a single stranded chain folded into a clover leaf shape. One end extends further than the other. Image: b55ac466-222a-456b-9838-99628d17a6ac (image/jpg)
In tRNA one end of the chain, extends beyond the other. Why is this?	This is because it is the area where an amino acid can attach
On the tRNA molecule, opposite to the end of the chains where the amino acid attaches, there is an area which carries the complementary bases to a codon on mRNA. What is this area called?	Anti-Codon
The mRNA base sequence is determined by the DNA base sequence in what process?	Transcription
Describe the feature of the structure of mRNA	mRNA is a single long strand that is coiled into a single helix
Fill in the blanks: Once formed, mRNA leaves the ________ through nuclear _______ and enters the ___________.	Once formed, mRNA leaves the NUCLEUS through nuclear PORES and enters the CYTOPLASM.
What form of protein is mRNA associated with?	Ribosomes
mRNA processes information into codons. What is a codon?	A codon is 3 bases complementary to a DNA triplet
