One difference is due to their nitrogen bases. RNA's bases are adenine (A), uracil (U), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). DNA's bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). Another difference is that DNA is a double-stranded molecule with a long chain of nucleotides, while RNA is a single-stranded molecule with a shorter chain of nucleotides.

What are two ways to classify viruses?
Rna and dna
What statement describes DNA but not RNA?
DNA is different with some ways to RNA -It have two chains but RNA have one chains -ıt stored herditary material (genetic material ) and controled cell activities but RNA ' s function protein synthesis -DNA can make copy ofıtself but RNA cannot -DNA have deoxyribose sugar but RNA have ribose sugar
Which of these sentences states why the DNA molecule differs from the RNA Molecule?
Generally the DNA molecule is double stranded to RNA's single strand. The RNA molecule uses uracil as a base while the DNA molecule uses thymine. RNA has catabolic properties that allow it to act in things such a ribosomes and tRNA. DNA is just a carrier of the genetic information.
What two biomolecules can carry the genetic information for a virus?
DNA and RNA. Viruses that use RNA often have to have enzymes that convert the RNA to DNA.
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

Rna and dna
What are two types of nucleic acid found the cell?
Deoxy-ribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)
What are the two nucleic acids?
The two nucleic acids are DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).

RNA differs from DNA because RNA is?
DNA is two stranded while RNA is usually one stranded. DNA uses a deoxyribose sugar while RNA uses a ribose sugar. DNA has the base thymine while RNA uses uracil in it's place. RNA is catalytic, while DNA is only an information storage molecule.
Why does DNA make RNA?
DNA makes RNA so then the DNA can replicate itself. RNA is typically single stranded copy, in a sense, of the DNA and there are two types: mRNA and tRNA.

What sugar is found in DNA in RNA?
The two purines in DNA are?
What are two ways in which RNA structure differs from DNA structure?
Chemically RNA and DNA only differ by a single oxygen atom in each nucleotide. Specifically the sugar group in an RNA nucleotide is the sugar ribose, wherease the sugar group in DNA is deoxyribose. Wikipedia has a nice image showing this here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nucleotides_1.svg Structurally RNA and DNA are also different. DNA exists almost exclusively in a double stranded helix. RNA is typically thought of a single chain that has a far more chaotic structure with the RNA folding back onto itself creating small helical regions where possible. DNA nucleotides contain a different sugar than RNA nucleotides.
How does DNA differ from RNA in terms of number of strands?
DNA is double stranded and RNA is single Stranded.
