Which of the following characteristics is correctly paired with the corresponding nucleic acid type? Answer Unselected DNA: Carries out the genetic instructions for protein synthesis Unselected RNA: Bases are adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), uracil (U) Unselected RNA: Structure is a double strand coiled into a double helix Unselected DNA: Major cellular site is the cytoplasm (cell area outside the nucleus)

Which of these associations does not correctly compare DNA and RNA? DNA a. Contains the base thymine. Contains the base uracil. b. Is double-stranded. $\quad$ Is a single-stranded helix. c. Is found only in the nucleus. Is found in the nucleus and cytoplasm. d. The sugar is deoxyribose. $\quad$ The sugar is ribose.
Match each of the following characteristics to DNA, RNA, or both. Nucleic Acids made up of nucleotides containing the sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base nitrogenous bases in the nucleotides are Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C), and Uracil (U) nitrogenous bases in the nucleotides are Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C), and Thymine (T) made up of nucleotides containing the sugar ribose, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base Single Stranded double helix structure A always pairs with T; G always pairs with C

Which of the following is a characteristic of DNA but not RNA? (Select all that apply) In eukaryotic cells, is found mainly within the nucleus Contains the sugar deoxyribose Contains the nitrogenous base Uracil Contains the nitrogenous base Thymine Contains the sugar ribose Is much shorter as it only represents 1 gene Is single stranded (composed of one polynucleotide) In eukaryotic cells is found in the nucleus and associated with ribosomes in the cytoplasm Is much longer as it represents many genes Contains the nitrogenous base Adenine Is double stranded (composed of two polynucleotides) Contains the nitrogenous base Cytosine Contains the nitrogenous base Guanine
