It is is composed of partially double-stranded DNA, but replicate through an RNA intermediate in a reverse-transcription fashion. So it is usually stranded more similarly to DNA, but when it is replicating, it may appear more like RNA.

What is the chemical difference between DNA and RNA?
DNA and RNA are the two kinds of nucleic acids. either of them is present in every living system.Property DNA RNASugar Deoxyribose RiboseStructure double stranded single strandedBases A,T,G,C A,U(Uracil),G,CSynthesis Replicates by DNA Polymerase RNA Polymerase frm DNATypes A,B(most common),Z mRNA,rRNA,tRNAThe process of synthesis of DNA is called replication, while for RNA it is called transcription.Exceptions of single stranded DNA and double stranded RNA are found in viruses.The 3 types of mRNA are found in all organsims and play in imp role in protein synthesis.
In what way is RNA different from dna?
The following distinguishing characteristics can be used to differentiate between DNA and RNA:Pentose sugar - the deoxyribose of DNA has one less oxygen than the ribose of RNANitrogenous bases - DNA contain adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine; RNA contains adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine.Strandedness - DNA is double-stranded and RNA is single-stranded.Functions - DNA stores genetic information and RNA transfers the information to other places in the cell.Location - DNA is only found in the nucleus whereas RNA can be found in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. DNA contains the information for protein synthesis; RNA carries out protein synthesis.Reactivity - DNA is less reactive due to stable C-H bonds; RNA is more reactive due to C-OH bond. DNA is stable in alkaline/basic conditions while RNA is unstable in alkaline/basic conditions.UV radiation - DNA is more easily damaged.Grooves - DNA has smaller grooves reduce enzyme ability to attach and damage while RNA has large grooves enable enzymes to attach and damage.Geometry - DNA has B-form helix geometry and RNA has A-form helix geometry
Does RNA exist in double helix?
No RNA is a single-stranded chain of nucleotides. The double helix is formed by two nucleotide strands of DNA not RNA. RNA can form secondary structures, but not the double helix seen with DNA.
What process creates RNA?
The process of making an RNA strand from a DNA copy is called transcription.A difference between RNA and DNA is that RNA uses Uracil instead of Thymine.Complimentary Base Pairs:DNA RNAT --------- AA --------- UC --------- GG --------- C
What is the chemical compound that carries the code of life?
a. RNA B. DNA C. PRO TINE D. CELLS
Is Hepatitis B RNA or DNA?
HCV is an enveloped single-strand RNA virus in the flavivirus family.
What are three ways RNA is different from DNA?
The following distinguishing characteristics can be used to differentiate between DNA and RNA:Pentose sugar - the deoxyribose of DNA has one less oxygen than the ribose of RNANitrogenous bases - DNA contain adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine; RNA contains adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine.Strandedness - DNA is double-stranded and RNA is single-stranded.Functions - DNA stores genetic information and RNA transfers the information to other places in the cell.Location - DNA is only found in the nucleus whereas RNA can be found in both the nucleus and cytoplasm.

DNA vs RNA?
DNA is more stable than RNA. DNA is double-stranded and forms a double helix. RNA is usually single-stranded and folds back on itself to form stem-loop structures. RNA has 2'-OH group that can participate in intramolecular reactions, facilitating hydrolysis.

Hepatitus b can be spread by?
by sexuall activity

Does hepatitis b have linear or cyclical DNA or RNA?
Hepatitis B virus contains a linear DNA which is inclosed by nucleocapsid.
How is RNA differrent from DNA?
DNA is double stranded while rna is single stranded. DNA contains the bases a, g, t, c while RNA contains the bases a, g, c, u. See Protein Synthesis. they are also different because they have different meaning DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid and RNA is ribonucleic acid.
What is the form of RNA that is transcribed from DNA?
A. rRNA Type of RNA molecule transcribed from a DNA template B. codon Sequence of three nucleotides on a messenger RNA molecule C. tRNA RNA component of ribosomes D. anticodon Connects mRNA codon to an amino acid E.mRNA Sequence of three nucleotides on a transfer RNA molecule
What is the chemical compound that carries the code of life?
a. RNA B. DNA C. PRO TINE D. CELLS
