Genetic Riddles ChallengeOnline version

A set of riddles about DNA, RNA and their building blocks.

by Unica Fadri
1

I'm the boss, the original plan, Double-stranded, like a twisted ladder I stand. In the nucleus, I forever stay, Controlling traits in every way. With A, T, C, and G in my code, I carry life's entire load.

Hints

nucleus

double-stranded

genetic material

2

I'm the messenger, single and free, A copy of DNA, as you can see. From nucleus to ribosome I race, With U instead of T in my space. I deliver instructions, then disappear, My job is done, I'm out of here!

Hints

transfers info

uracil

single-stranded

3

I'm a double-ringed purine, strong and wide, In DNA with Thymine, I stand by its side. In RNA, with Uracil, I happily pair, Energy molecule ATP? I'm also there!

Hints

pairs with T (DNA) or U (RNA)

A base

4

I'm only in DNA, that's my special place, With Adenine, I form a perfect base. I'm a single-ring pyrimidine, neat and small, In DNA's ladder, I answer the call!

Hints

pairs with A

DNA-exclusive

5

I'm Thymine's substitute in the RNA crew, With Adenine, I pair, that's what I do. In RNA only, that's where I'm found, Making temporary messages, safe and sound!

Hints

replaces T

RNA base

6

Three hydrogen bonds make my pairing strong, With Cytosine, I never get it wrong. In both DNA and RNA, I play my part, A purine base, with all my heart!

Hints

pairs with C

G base

7

With Guanine, I form a triple-bond pair, A pyrimidine base, I'm everywhere! In both nucleic acids, I have a role, Helping to build the genetic control!

Hints

pairs with G

C base

8

A, T, C, G, and sometimes U, We're the alphabet that codes for you! We're the "rungs" on the DNA ladder, Making genetic instructions that really matter.

Hints

A, T, C, G, U

faces of the ladder

9

We're the sides of the twisted ladder, Sugar and phosphate, we're the latter. We form the structural frame and spine, Holding the bases in a perfect line

Hints

sugar and phosphate

backbone
