First of all, RNA has ribose, which is what the R stands for. DNA had deoxyribose, which is what the D stands for. Also, RNA is a single strand, while DNA id double- stranded and has a double helix shape. Thirdly, DNA has Thymine, while RNA has Uracil.

What are two types of nucleic acid found the cell?
Deoxy-ribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)
What is the name of the nucleotides have no DNA and no RNA?
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
Why is it important for RNA to be smaller then DNA?
Because RNA is the replication of DNA.
What does DNA and RNA stands for?
DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. RNA stands for ribonucleic acid.
What the difference between rna and dna in number of strands?
the difference between DNA and RNA AS DNA ARE DOUBLE STANDED AND RNA IS SINGLE STANDED
What sugar distinguishes from DNA and RNA?
DNA has got Deoxyribose sugar. RNA has got Ribose sugar.
What definitively distinguishes RNA from DNA?
The difference between ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid is the extra oxygen in the former.
What are two types of nucleic acid found the cell?
Deoxy-ribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)
What is the name of the nucleotides have no DNA and no RNA?
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
What enzyme transcribes DNA?
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
A major difference in RNA as compared to DNA is?
RNA can move and DNA cant. DNA has a double helix strand and RNA is a single strand.
What is the substance in RNA but not DNA?
An uracil base is in RNA but not in DNA
Are DNA and RNA carbohydrates?
Yes, DNA and RNA have different sugar . DNA contains deoxyribose sugar whereas RNA consists of ribose sugar, which are completely different from each other.
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.
Which molecules is typically found in DNA but not RNA?
Thymine is found in DNA but not in RNA. Uracil replaces thymine in RNA. In other words: DNA has thymine. RNA has uracil.
Why is it important for RNA to be smaller then DNA?
Because RNA is the replication of DNA.
Is DNA shorter then RNA?
No... DNA is much longer than RNA.
