RNA Quizzes & Trivia

Do you know what makes you? Are you aware of what forms everything that you are? Many people are familiar with DNA but many people are less familiar with RNA, even though it brings with it similar levels of importance. RNA is a molecule that is polymeric. It is a nucleic acid the same as DNA.

RNA is found in nature often as a single strand which folds into itself rather than the double strand that DNA is. Messenger RNA is used by many cellular organisms to relay genetic information to specific proteins. Viruses often encode genetic information through the RNA genome. Do you know in what active role RNA plays within cells? See how biologically savvy you are by taking one of our many online quizzes.
