made up of.
1.Sugar
2.Phosphate
3.nucleotides
(nitrogen bases)
DNA has four nucleotides that pair
up. Match the base pairs.
Adenine…
Guanine..
Thymine…
Cytosine…
Name 3 ways RNA is different from
DNA.
1.RNA has uracil
instead of thymine
2.RNA has ribose
sugar instead of
deoxyribose sugar
3. RNA is a single
strand, DNA is a
double strand.
Write the matching RNA sequence
to the following DNA Base

WHAT IS A GENE?
Area of a chromosome
that has codes for a
trait.
WHAT IS A MUTATION?
A mistake in DNA
replication.
What is a ribosomes job during
protein synthesis?
Translate (or copy)
the RNA code, they
also make protein.
How is eating the proper food
related to protein synthesis?
Without the proper
foods with nitrogen in
it your body can not
make proteins to
repair your body.
Fill in the chromosome parts
according to the code given.
