RNA

  1. What is RNA? How different is it from DNA?
    RNA is the copy of the DNA. Its different because it is a single strand, not a double helix like DNA, and instead of thymine (T), it is uracil (U).

  2. How are the RNA messages formed?
    RNA messages are formed by the grouping together of 3 of the letters to create a codon, which line up and form a chain of codes that create a message.

  3. How are the RNA messages interpreted?
    Ribosomes read the messages and then attach the amino acids together to make up a protein.
