A DNA molecule is made up of deoxyribose sugar while RNA is made up of ribose sugar.

A DNA molecule is double stranded whilst a RNA molecule is single stranded.

A DNA molecule only contains the bases; Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine. However a RNA molecule contains the bases; Uracil, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine.

DNA is only found in the nucleus of a cell, while RNA is found in the cytoplasm.

How can you tell the difference between a DNA molecule undergoing transcription and being replicated?

If the DNA molecule is undergoing transcription, then mRNA nucleotides will be forming along the anti-sense strand of DNA. If the DNA molecule is undergoing replication, new DNA nucleotides will be forming along both original strands of DNA.


What is the difference between a chromosome and a DNA molecule?

The difference between a chromosome and a DNA molecule is that a chromosome is a single DNA molecule associated with proteins and a DNA molecule is a long thin molecule that stores genetic information.


What is the thickness of DNA molecule?

The diameter of a DNA molecule is approximately 2 nanometers, while the distance between base pairs along the DNA molecule is approximately 0.34 nanometers. Therefore, the thickness of a DNA molecule is very small, on the order of a few nanometers.


What are the differences between the 3' and 5' ends of a DNA molecule?

The 3' end of a DNA molecule has a free hydroxyl group on the third carbon of the sugar molecule, while the 5' end has a phosphate group attached to the fifth carbon. This structural difference affects how DNA is replicated and synthesized.


Does a molecule have DNA?

DNA is a molecule so no.


Is DNA an organic molecule?

Yes, DNA is an organic molecule.


Is DNA an organic or inorganic molecule?

DNA is an organic molecule.


How is a DNA molecule held together and separated by?

A DNA molecule is held together by its hydrogen bonds. The bonds are in between the bases of the molecule, for example cytosine and guanine. Because hydrogen bonds are weak, they are able to break apart easily and split when the molecule needs to be separated to bond with another DNA molecule for reproduction.


What are the differences between the 5' and 3' ends of DNA molecules?

The 5' end of a DNA molecule refers to the end where the phosphate group is attached to the 5' carbon of the sugar molecule in the DNA backbone. The 3' end, on the other hand, is where the hydroxyl group is attached to the 3' carbon of the sugar molecule. This difference in chemical structure affects how DNA is synthesized and replicated.


Shape of DNA molecule?

The shape of a DNA Molecule is a Double Helix


Is the B subunit of the hemoglobin A molecule a complete DNA molecule?

B-subunit of the hemoglobin A molecule is not a complete DNA molecule. It contains 4 subunits


Are there any difference appearance between DNA from different cell?

No, there is no difference in appearance between DNA from different cells. DNA is a molecule that has a uniform structure regardless of the cell type it is found in. The only differences in DNA between cells come from variations in the sequence of nucleotides that make up the DNA.
