Since both proteins and DNA are polymers (molecules arranged like chains made up of smaller molecules called monomers), their sizes cannot be compared.
However, the monomer of DNA (called a nucleic acid) is smaller than the monomer of a protein (called an amino acid)

Is RNA a disposable copy of DNA?
True. RNA is made from the DNA template and when it is no longer needed, it is broken down. However, if the DNA is disturbed, major problems can occur. What statement is true about RNA? One of the bases from DNA is replaced by uracil
During DNA duplication primer called RNA primer why?
The initiation of the reaction is favoured energetically by formation of this RNA-DNA hybrid.This hybrid is more stronger than DNA-DNA hybrid
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.
What enzyme transcribes DNA?
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
A major difference in RNA as compared to DNA is?
RNA can move and DNA cant. DNA has a double helix strand and RNA is a single strand.
Is DNA shorter then RNA?
No... DNA is much longer than RNA.
What is a major difference between DNA replication DNA transcription?
RNA molecules produced by transcription are much shorter in length than DNA molecules produced by replication.
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.
Which is longer a strand of RNA or a strand of DNA?
Normally DNA and RNA are the same length. However RNA has only one half of the two usually duplicate genetic strands of DNA
Is RNA a disposable copy of DNA?
True. RNA is made from the DNA template and when it is no longer needed, it is broken down. However, if the DNA is disturbed, major problems can occur. What statement is true about RNA? One of the bases from DNA is replaced by uracil
Why could RNA evolve before DNA?
I think It's because RNA is less complex than DNA.
Why rna virus is more mutant than dna virus?
during replication RNA-polimeraze it make a lot of erros.In this ways RNA viruses it mutate faster than DNa viruses.
Do some viruses have rna rather than DNA?
Yes, that is correct - some viruses have RNA, others DNA.
What are two types of nucleic acid found the cell?
Deoxy-ribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)
What is the name of the nucleotides have no DNA and no RNA?
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
During DNA duplication primer called RNA primer why?
The initiation of the reaction is favoured energetically by formation of this RNA-DNA hybrid.This hybrid is more stronger than DNA-DNA hybrid
