tRNAs are small RNA molecules that carry amino acids to growing polypeptide chains that are being made in a ribosome. The have anti-codons that are complimentary to the codons on the mRNA. They carry an amino acid that is specific to their anti-codon.
mRNA is an RNA copy of a gene in the DNA that sends instruction for making a protein to the cytoplasm from the nucleus.
The mRNA takes the message to synthesize protein from the DNA in the nucleus, the mRNA carries the codons i.e the A,U,G, and C codons. Now, the tRNA carries the anticodons that fuses with the codons of the mRNA and these now proceed to the rRNA!
They both consist of long chain nucleotide units . RNA is normally single stranded but even double stranded RNA exist and they are similar to DNA . This double stranded DNA forms genetic material of some viruses. Both the DNA and double stranded RNA has two poly nucleotide chain twisted around each other.
RNA is single stranded, while DNA has the famous double helix; RNA nucleotides contain ribose while DNA contains Deoxyribose, a type of the compound ribose that does not have one Oxygen atom. RNA has uracil base, while DNA has a thymine.
They are all RNA,
They are active in protein synthesis,
they are both produced in the nucleolus.
They both contain nitrogen bases.
A DNA molecule and a RNA molecule can have similar nitrogenous base.Both have pentose sugar and phosphate groups
Both are single stranded
Basic rundown- Similarities: They are both Nucleic Acids and carriers of our genetic information; Three of Four common nucleotides are shared in both: ACG (Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine). Differences: RNA has U (Uracil), DNA has T (Thymine). RNA has a ribose sugar vs DNA's deoxyribose sugar (literally a one oxygen molecule difference). DNA gets Transcribed into RNA. RNA gets Translated into Amino Acids/Proteins.
RNA Polymerase - A polymerase that catalyzes the synthesis of a complementary strand of RNA from a DNA template, or, in some viruses, from an RNA template.
Deoxy-ribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
Both RNA and DNA form in the same manner. They add bases to the 3' end of the base to form a polymer.
DNA and RNA contain purine and pyrimidine nitrogenous bases, one benzoic acid radicle and one pentose.
Some viruses move RNA, some DNA; but RNA is more common.
Both RNA and DNA form in the same manner. They add bases to the 3' end of the base to form a polymer.
DNA is transcribed into RNA which is translated into proteins. Only a small percentage of DNA and RNA become proteins. Some of the time the process stops after DNA is transcribed into RNA.

Yes, that is correct - some viruses have RNA, others DNA.
RNA Polymerase - A polymerase that catalyzes the synthesis of a complementary strand of RNA from a DNA template, or, in some viruses, from an RNA template.
Deoxy-ribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
Both RNA and DNA form in the same manner. They add bases to the 3' end of the base to form a polymer.
There are many reasons why scientists think RNA came before DNA. RNA is found in viruses and some bacteria which were likely around before more complex organisms.
