What is the major difference between normal DNA double helix and RNA double helix?

The term double helix refers to the structure formed by double-stranded molecules of nucleic acids. Only DNA forms a double helix because RNA is only single-stranded.

How does DNA differ structurally from RNA?

The DNA and RNA differs in three aspects. Their difference are: RNA has single strand nucleic acid; RNA sugar is ribose while DNA has deoxyribose; and the nucleotides of RNA is uracil while the DNA has thymine.


What is the difference between RNA and DNA with respect to the bases involved?

RNA has uracil; DNA has thymine (5-methyl uracil). The other difference (and the reason for the difference in the names) is that the sugar in RNA is ribose, but in DNA it is 2-deoxyribose.


What is a major difference between DNA replication and transcription?

RNA molecules produced by transcription are much shorter in length than DNA molecules produced by replication.


Does RNA include Guanine?

Yes! The only difference in RNA from DNA is that RNA has Uracil instead of Thymine.
