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 is it important for RNA to be smaller then DNA?
Because RNA is the replication of DNA.
RNA differs from Dna in that it contains?
A Ribose sugar as 'opposed to' a 2'- deoxy - Ribose sugar.
Why does influenza have RNA?
Influenza has RNA because it steals DNA/RNA from host cells. Proteins also help infect the DNA/RNA.
RNA differs from DNA in all of the following wy except?
a flat shape cell found in the lung
RNA differs from DNA because RNA?
DNA contains four bases i.e., adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine. In RNA each nucleotide consists of a nitrogeneous base, a ribose sugar and a phosphate group. Here thymine is replaced with Uracil(U).
The structure of RNA differs from DNA in that?
the backbone of RNA contains ribose.
What is one way that RNA differs from DNA?
RNA is single stranded,Pentose sugar is Ribose DNA has deoxyribose,Thymine of DNA is replaced by Uracil of RNA.
Structurally RNA differs from DNA by replacing?
thymine with uracil
Why is it important for RNA to be smaller then DNA?
Because RNA is the replication of DNA.
Why does 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.
RNA differs from Dna in that it contains?
A Ribose sugar as 'opposed to' a 2'- deoxy - Ribose sugar.
What are The bases present in an RNA molecule?
The four bases in RNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Uracil. This differs from DNA, which has Thymine instead of Uracil.
Why does influenza have RNA?
Influenza has RNA because it steals DNA/RNA from host cells. Proteins also help infect the DNA/RNA.
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.
RNA differs from DNA in all of the following wy except?
a flat shape cell found in the lung
Why do scientists think RNA may have evolved before DNA?
because RNA depend to DNA.
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.
