2. The Structure and Function of DNA & RNA Post test

Identify the following as DNA or RNA.

Converts the genetic information contained within DNA to a format used to build proteins, and then moves it to ribosomal protein factories.

The diagram below shows DNA being converted into messenger RNA.

What does messenger RNA do?

Identify the following as DNA or RNA.

Only has one strand, is made up of nucleotides.  Does not contain thymine as a base.

Identify the following as DNA or RNA.
