1.DNA is deoxyrionucleic acid and contains the 5 carbon sugar deoxyribose. RNA is ribonucleic acid and contains the 5 carbon sugar ribose.
2. DNA is a double stranded molecule . RNA is single stranded.
3. DNA contains 4 bases Adenine (A) , Cytosine (C), Guanine (G) and Thymine (T). In RNA Thymine is replaced by Uracil(U) but also contains A, C and G.
4. Both DNA are composed of sub units called nucleotides.
5. A Nucleotide has 3 sub units: A 5 carbon sugar, An inorganic phosphate and one of four bases.
6. The nucleotides in both DNA and RNA are linked by chemical bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide and the Phosphate of the next to form a 'sugar- phosphate backbone'.
7. RNA has several types: Messenger RNA(mRNA), Transfer RNA (tRNA) and Ribosomal (rRNA)
8. Proteins are coded for by sequences of three bases on the nucleic acid strands.
9.. A series of three bases on DNA is called a Triplet. On mRNA a sequence of three bases is called a codon and on tRNA it is called an anticodon.
10. mRNA is copied from one strand of DNA by a process called Transcription.
10. DNA, being double stranded is too large to pass out of the nuclear pores and so is confined to the nucleus. mRNA being single stranded can pass out of the nucleus to carry the genetic code to the ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic retiticulum for translation into sequences of amino acids. (Called Translation)
11. DNA can undergo self replication, RNA can't.
12. The base pairing rule in DNA is A with T and C with G. In RNA the base pairing rule is A with U and C with G.

∙ 9y agoOne similarity between DNA and RNA is that both contain three nitrogenous bases (Adenine, Cytosine and Guanine), along with the fact that they both contain pentose sugars.Although there are some similarities, there are more differences; DNA is double-stranded, while RNA is single stranded, and DNA is unable to leave the nucleus, while RNA is able to

∙ 11y ago- DNA is a double helix; RNA is a single helix.
- RNA has a pentose sugar ribose, and DNA is made of pentose sugar deoxyribose, which has one less oxygen.
- DNA has thymine, adenine, guanine, and cytosine as nitrogen bases, RNA has uracil, adenine, guanine, and cytosine as nitrogen bases.

∙ 9y agoDNA in human are double stranded where as RNA are single stranded. DNA has deoxy ribose and RNA has ribose sugar. DNA transcribe RNA to form proteins. DNA forms double helical structure by hydrogen bonding between two strand, RNA form stem and loop formation by intramolecular H bonds. There are three major types of RNA such as mRNA, tRNA, rRNA that carry out proteins synthesis.

∙ 7y ago1) DNA is a two-stranded molecule. RNA is a single strand molecule.
2) DNA contains deoxyribose molecules in its backbone, while RNA has ribose in its molecular structure.
3) DNA molecule contains Thymine as one of its purine bases. RNA molecule contains Uracil instead of Thymine.

The structure of RNA differs from DNA in that?
the backbone of RNA contains ribose.
Differences of DNA and RNa on there jobs and structure?
Differences include that RNA uses ribose as a sugar and DNA uses deoxyribose, and DNA uses the base thymine while RNA uses uracil.
Does RNA contain the nitrogen base uracil?
NO. RNA contains URACIL while in DNA it is THYMINE, the uracil replaces the thymine.
Describe the pairing behavior of nitrogen bases in DNA and RNA?
C (cytosine) pairs with G (guanine) in DNA and RNA A (adenine) pairs with T (thymine) in DNA but in RNA A pairs with U (uracil) which takes the place of T.
What is the major difference between normal DNA double helix and RNA double helix?
The term double helix refers to the structure formed by double-stranded molecules of nucleic acids. Only DNA forms a double helix because RNA is only single-stranded.
Structure of tRNA different from DNA?
RNA makes up DNA. RNA makes up DNA. tRNA is a structure of DNA.
What is a similar structure of DNA?
RNA
What is a description of the structure of DNA and RNA?
DNA is double stranded whereas RNA is single stranded . They are different in their functioning as well .
What base is not found in the structure of DNA?
The base "uracil" is not found in the structure of DNA, but rather in RNA, as uracil replaces thymine in RNA.
The structure of RNA differs from DNA in that?
the backbone of RNA contains ribose.
Is a phosphate DNA or RNA?
Both DNA and RNA contain a sugar phosphate group as the backbone to their structure. In DNA the sugar is deoxyribose, where as in RNA it is just ribose.
What are nucleotides the basic unit of?
DNA and RNA
Is virus a structure?
Yes. It is either DNA or RNA.
What biomolecule codes for the structure of a cell?
Rna dna
Name the 3-part structure that makes up both DNA and RNA?
pentose(ribose for RNA; deoxyribose for DNA), nitrogen base(AUGC for RNA; ATGC for DNA) and phosphate.
The basic kinds of nucleic acids are?
Rna's and Dna's
What is the basic monomer subunit in DNA and RNA?
nucleotides
