    • Label this nucleotide
      A) phosphate group
      B) pentose sugar (ribose)
      C) nitrogenous base
    • What are the bases in RNA?
      Guanine, cytosine, adenine, uracil
    • RNA molecules are single, not double stranded. They are also shorter than DNA
    • What is the pentose sugar in RNA?
      Ribose
    • What are the nitrogenous bases in RNA?
      Purines: adenine and guanine
      Pyrimidines: cytosine and uracil
    • How many strands does RNA have?
      1, it is single stranded
    • What are the lengths of the different types of RNA?
      tRNA and rRNA are both short
      mRNA varies but it is still shorter than DNA
