17
Q

Which type of RNA carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome?

18
Q

Fill in the blank: The process of translating mRNA into a protein is called _______.

19
Q

What is the role of the ribosome in protein synthesis?

A

To facilitate the assembly of amino acids into a polypeptide chain.

20
Q

True or False: RNA can have enzymatic activity.

21
Q

What is the significance of RNA interference (RNAi)?

A

It is a biological process in which RNA molecules inhibit gene expression or translation.

22
Q

What is a primary transcript?

A

The initial RNA transcript synthesized from the DNA template before processing.

23
Q

What modification occurs to mRNA before it exits the nucleus?

A

Capping and polyadenylation

24
Q

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic RNA processing?

A

Eukaryotic RNA undergoes capping, polyadenylation, and splicing, while prokaryotic RNA does not.

25
What are non-coding RNAs?
RNA molecules that do not encode proteins but have various regulatory and structural roles.
