DNA and RNA Comparison Worksheet

The document provides information about the central dogma of biology: 1) It compares DNA and RNA, noting their similarities like both being nucleic acids but DNA being double-stranded while RNA is single-stranded. 2) It describes the three main types of RNA - transfer RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and messenger RNA (mRNA) - and their roles in protein synthesis. 3) It outlines the process of transcription of DNA to mRNA and translation of mRNA to proteins using a labeled diagram showing how DNA is transcribed to mRNA and then mRNA directs the ribosome to assemble amino acids in the proper order.

WORKSHEET 2.

THE CENTRAL DOGMA


I. DNA vs. RNA
Study figure 1 below. Then, give the similarities and differences of DNA and RNA by completing the Venn
diagram.

II. TYPES OF RNA


Study the diagram about the different types of RNA then identify the type of RNA described in each number.

___________1. It is a small single stranded molecule. It forms a clover-leaf shape, with one end of the chain ending in
a cytosine-cytosine-adenine sequence at which point the amino acid it carries attaches itself. At the opposite end of
the chain is a sequence of three bases called the anticodon. tRNA molecules bring amino acids to the ribosome so
that proteins can then be synthesized.
___________2. It is found in the cytoplasm and is a large, complex molecule made up of both double and single
helices. It is made in the nucleolus inside the nucleus. Synthesis of new proteins in the cell occurs
on ribosomes which are made up of both rRNA and protein.
___________3. It is a long single-stranded molecule formed into a helix. It is manufactured in the nucleus and carries
the genetic code from the DNA to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
III. FROM DNA TO PROTEIN
