Answer:
1. rRNA helps form ribosomes. mRNA provides the instructions for proteins to the ribosome. tRNA transfers amino acids to the ribosome, which are needed to create the protein.
2. The Central Dogma of Biology states that DNA holds the instructions for protein creation. These directions are copied by RNA, which the RNA then utilizes to create protein. (Also known as DNA to RNA to protein.)
3. Proteins are made in the ribosomes, which are small organelles inside a cell.
4. They are both nucleic acids. Both of them store genetic information. They also share the same basic components: sugar, phosphate backbones, and nitrogenous bases.
5.
a. RNA is single stranded; DNA is double stranded.
b. RNA contains uracil as a base instead of thymine.
c. RNA has ribose, while DNA has deoxyribose instead (hence the differences in their name: RNA means ribonucleic acid. DNA means deoxyribonucleic acid).
6. mRNA (messenger RNA), rRNA (ribosomal RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA)
