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.
Why is DNA a more stable genome repository than RNA?
Because DNA forms a double helix.
What is a double helix DNA or RNA?
Both DNA and RNA can exist in the double helix form, but only DNA is completely stable as a double helix. The double helix RNA is usually only short "hairpin" sections folding back on itself, never the long essentially linear form of double helix DNA.
What is a component of RNA?
The sugar ribose is unique to RNA, as well as the nitrogenous Uracil. Also, RNA has a single helix structure in comparison to the double helix of DNA
What is a single helix called?
Rna
How does the shape of the DNA differ from the shape of RNA?
It typically forms a single sometimes twisted strand, not a double helix like DNA.
How does shape of RNA differ from the shape of DNA?
It typically forms a single sometimes twisted strand, not a double helix like DNA.
What is major difference between normal DNA helix and RNA helix?
DNA is double stranded while RNA only has one strand.
Which type of nucleic acid molecule forms a double helix?
DNA
What happens to the DNA double helix after RNA polymerses have stopped producing its RNA transcripts?
When DNA double helix after RNA polymers stops producing causes one thing. The thing it cause is a transcription bubble.
Difference between the DNA and RNA?
the difference is that DNA is a double helix and RNA is a single chain
What is complementary sequence?
When DNA and/or RNA are in the double helix configuration each helix is the complementary sequence of the other.
