RNA Basics for Biology Students

This document provides information about RNA structure, transcription, and editing. It contains 3 key points: 1) It describes the four bases of RNA: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil. It shows the chemical structures of these bases and the sugar ribose. 2) It explains how nucleotides are formed from a nitrogenous base, a 5-carbon sugar ribose, and a phosphate group. Diagrams show the chemical structures of adenine and guanine nucleotides. 3) It briefly outlines the central dogma of biology and the three main steps of transcription: initiation by RNA polymerase, elongation as RNA is synthesized, and termination when RNA polymerase disengages from the DNA template
