• RNA uses uracil while DNA uracil
• DNA is double stranded, while RNA is single stranded
• DNA has the sugar deoxiribose while RNA has tbe sugar ribose
In the nucleus
In the nucleus (when is made) and in the cytoplasm (when it is going through a
ribosome to synthesize a protein).
Transcribes the DNA in the nucleus by
creating a complementary strand of
mRNA mRNA. The mRNA then leaves the
nucleus to join with a ribosome.
Brings A.A.’s to the ribosome.
tRNA Anticodons on tRNA pair with the
codons on mRNA.
Along with proteins, rRNA creates the
rRNA ribosome, which is where A.A.’s are
bonded together to form a protein.
