RNA is like DNA in the sense that they both contain Adenine, Cytosine and Guanine and they also contain the same structure (sugar linked to a phosphate group at one end and nitrogenous base at the other ) .

In what ways do the chemical structures of DNA and rna differ?
One of the major differences between DNA and RNA is the sugar, with 2-deoxyribose replaced by ribose in RNA. From ChaCha!
What are three major differences between the structures of DNA and RNA?
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.
2 what are the four nitrogenous bases for DNA and rna?
DNA-Adenine with Thymine Cytosine with Guanine RNA-Adenine with Uracil Cytosine with Guanine
What are the sugars found in DNA and Rna?
The sugar found in DNA is called two-prime [2'] deoxyribose. The sugar found in Rna is called ribose.
What are the 2 major nucleic acids in the body?
rna and dna

What are 2 ways DNA is different from DNA?
DNA is the same thing as DNA. If you mean RNA, that's a whole nother ball game.
What are two ways that RNA ia like DNA?
1. Both are nucleic acids 2. Both are related to carry genetic information
Three ways RNA and DNA differ?
1. The sugar in DNA is deoxyribose and the sugar in RNA is ribose. 2. DNA is a double strand and RNA is single strand. 3. DNA is in the nucleus and RNA travels around from nucleus to cytoplasm. or 1. RNA is generally single stranded 2. RNA contains Uracil in place of Thymine 3. The sugar in RNA is Ribose instead of Deoxribose
How is RNA difernt from DNA?
dna has adenine, thymine guanine, and cytosine as its bases. dna is double stranded. dna is made of deoxyribose. in dna H attatches to its 2'. in rna uracil replaces thymine. rna is single stranded. rna is made of ribose. in rna OH attaches to its 2'.
What sugar is in DNA and not in Rna?
DNA contains 2' [2 prime] deoxyribose sugar while Rna contains ribose sugar.
What are the three main differences between RNA and DNA?
- 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. =]

Differences of RNA and DNA?
1. RNA have the base uracil whereas DNA have the base thymine. 2. RNA contain ribose sugar residues whereas DNA contain deoxyribose sugar residues. 3. RNA are single-stranded whereas DNA are double-stranded.
What are 2 examples of nucleic acid?
DNA and RNA
2 what are the four nitrogenous bases for DNA and rna?
DNA-Adenine with Thymine Cytosine with Guanine RNA-Adenine with Uracil Cytosine with Guanine
Why RNA can be hydrolyzed by dilute alkali but not DNA?
as DNA is more stable than RNA .So,RNA gets easily hydrolysed easily by hydrolysing phosphodiester bond.
