DNA has a deoxyribose sugar; RNA has ribose sugar.
DNA is double stranded; RNA is single.
DNA has adenine that pairs with thymine, guanine that pairs with cytosine; RNA has adenine that pairs with uracil, guanine that pairs with cytosine.
DNA resides in the nucleus; RNA resides in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm (near ribosomes)
All cellular (living) organisms contain both DNA and RNA. Viruses, which are generally not considered to be living, contain one or the other.
Here are some major differences between RNA and DNA:
RNA is single stranded
DNA is a double helix
RNA contains cytosine, guanine, adenine, and uracil
DNA contains cytosine, guanine, adenine, and thymine
RNA processes the information that the DNA has stored to direct protein synthesis
DNA is the storage center of information
i hope this helped !
Well, DNA makes proteins and RNA delivers the proteins, DNA is double stranded and RNA is only single stranded, and The code things for DNA and RNA are different like AUGCT but i frogot exactly those
DNA is a doubled stranded structure, while RNA is a single stranded structure. RNA contains the sugar ribose, while DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose. RNA can have 4 nucleotides: cytosine, guanine, uracil, and adenine. DNA can have all these nucleotides except for uracil, which is replaced by thymine.
# Number of strands # The sugar # One of the bases In nature, RNA usually has one strand, DNA two. There are exceptions in viruses. Also, single-stranded DNA can be synthesized in laboratories for use e.g. as primers and probes.
Both nucleic acids have a pentose. In RNA it is ribose, in DNA deoxyribose.
RNA has uracil where DNA has thymine.
Another difference is speculative: many scientists believe RNA preceded DNA in the history of living organisms. Among other pieces of evidence is the fact that the distinctive components of DNA (thymine and deoxyribose) are synthesized in cells via the RNA equivalent: thymine by methylation of uracil, and deoxyribose by reduction of ribose.
i do not know....................
- The sugar in RNA is ribose, and in DNA the sugar is deoxyribose. - RNA is usually single stranded, DNA is double-stranded helix. - RNA contains uracil instead of thymine. DNA does contain thymine. Like thymine, uracil can form a hydrogen bond with adenine. =]
RNA is single-stranded, while DNA is double-stranded. RNA contains the sugar ribose, while DNA contains deoxyribose. RNA uses uracil as a base instead of thymine found in DNA. RNA is usually shorter in length compared to DNA.
RNA is single-stranded, while DNA is double-stranded. In RNA, the sugar molecule is ribose, whereas DNA has deoxyribose. RNA contains uracil as one of its bases, while DNA contains thymine. RNA is mainly involved in protein synthesis and gene regulation, while DNA stores genetic information.
The correct answer is: RNA is synthesized by RNA polymerase that reads one strand of DNA. RNA polymerase reads DNA 3' to 5'. When RNA is made, it is made 5' to 3'. Most polymerases have the 3' to 5' "reading" activity. The created RNA strand is identical to the coding strand of DNA, which is also in the orientation of 5' to 3'.
RNA polymerase reads the DNA template and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand by linking together RNA nucleotides according to the base pairing rules. RNA polymerase moves along the DNA strand in the 3' to 5' direction, synthesizing the RNA transcript in the 5' to 3' direction.
3 differences. RNA has an additional oxygen attached, is single stranded and has Uracil instead of Thymine
- The sugar in RNA is ribose, and in DNA the sugar is deoxyribose. - RNA is usually single stranded, DNA is double-stranded helix. - RNA contains uracil instead of thymine. DNA does contain thymine. Like thymine, uracil can form a hydrogen bond with adenine. =]
RNA is single-stranded, while DNA is double-stranded. RNA contains the sugar ribose, while DNA contains deoxyribose. RNA uses uracil as a base instead of thymine found in DNA. RNA is usually shorter in length compared to DNA.
RNA and DNA differ in these ways: (1) DNA has deoxyribose sugar, and RNA has ribose sugar. (2) DNA is made up of these four bases: adenine & guanine, cytosine & thymine; RNA is made up of adenine & guanine, cytosine & URACIL, the difference being that in RNA, uracil replaces thymine. (3) DNA is a double stranded molecule, and RNA is a single stranded molecule. (And for an optional 4)RNA can travel in and out of the nucleas of the cell. The DNA is stuck in the nucleas.
Both RNA and DNA form in the same manner. They add bases to the 3' end of the base to form a polymer.
RNA is single-stranded, while DNA is double-stranded. In RNA, the sugar molecule is ribose, whereas DNA has deoxyribose. RNA contains uracil as one of its bases, while DNA contains thymine. RNA is mainly involved in protein synthesis and gene regulation, while DNA stores genetic information.

RNA and DNA are both nucleic acids composed of nucleotides, which consist of a sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogenous base. Both RNA and DNA store genetic information that is essential for the functioning of living organisms. They both have a double-stranded structure, with RNA having a single strand in most cases.
DNA is a double-stranded molecule that carries genetic information in the cell nucleus, while RNA is usually single-stranded and is involved in protein synthesis and other cellular processes. DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose, whereas RNA contains the sugar ribose. Additionally, DNA uses thymine as a base, while RNA uses uracil instead.
