DNA vs. RNA
Single-stranded
What is RNA?
ATCG
What are the DNA bases?
Trio of bases
What is a codon?
The new offspring grows off the parent’s body (starfish and potatoes are examples)
What is budding?
Double-stranded
What is DNA?
AUCG
What are the RNA bases
A translated codon
What is an amino acid?

The instructions for the cell
What is DNA?
Made from a strand of amino acids
What is a protein?

What is regeneration?

What is DNA
In RNA: A=T C=G
(True or False)
What is false?
The number of condons needed for 1 amino acid
What is 3?
When there is no mate and the species does not change gender an unfertilized egg will grow into an adult with all haploid cells (some reptile species do this)
What is parthenogenesis?
Shorter
What is RNA
Makes food and drinks for the cell
(basically)
What are proteins?
Used to make proteins
What are amino acids?
meiosis makes haploid cells (eggs and sperm or pollen and ovule, or spores)
What is sexual reproduction?
