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.

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.
Which description is true for both DNA and RNA molecules?
They are types of nucleic acids.
Is it true or false that hiv uses reverse transcriptase to make ds RNA copies of its DNA genome?
true
Can some RNA and DNA viruses change healthy cells into cancerous cells?
true
Is RNA a disposable copy of DNA?
True. RNA is made from the DNA template and when it is no longer needed, it is broken down. However, if the DNA is disturbed, major problems can occur. What statement is true about RNA? One of the bases from DNA is replaced by uracil
Rna and DNA probes bind specifically to the single stranded DNA of their target?
true
What is a true statement of the genetic material in viruses?
it can be DNA or RNA
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.
Which description is true for both DNA and RNA molecules?
They are types of nucleic acids.
Are nucleotides pieces that form the dna molecule?
DNA is composed of nucleotides. DNA is essentially a polymer made up of nucleotide monomers
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.
Is it true or false that hiv uses reverse transcriptase to make ds RNA copies of its DNA genome?
true
Can some RNA and DNA viruses change healthy cells into cancerous cells?
true
Which of the following is true regarding current scientific thought?
RNA originated before DNA
