DNA is more stable than RNA. DNA is double-stranded and forms a double helix. RNA is usually single-stranded and folds back on itself to form stem-loop structures.
RNA has 2'-OH group that can participate in intramolecular reactions, facilitating hydrolysis.

What does DNA have that RNA does not have?
its uracil
How does the structure of RNA differ than DNA?
In protein formation, mRNA carries codes from the DNA in the nucleus to the sites of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm (the ribosomes). Ribosomes are composed of rRNA and protein; they can "read" the code carried by the mRNA. A sequence of three nitrogenous bases in mRNA specifies incorporation of an amino acid; tRNA brings the amino acids to the ribosomes, where they are linked into proteins.
How is RNA differrent from DNA?
DNA is double stranded while rna is single stranded. DNA contains the bases a, g, t, c while RNA contains the bases a, g, c, u. See Protein Synthesis. they are also different because they have different meaning DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid and RNA is ribonucleic acid.
How do scientists classify viruses?
They are classified by a number of different viral characteristics. These include DNA vs. RNA viruses, single strand (SS) vs. double strand viruses (DS), enveloped vs. non enveloped, or retrovirus. For example the HIV virus is an enveloped single stranded RNA retrovirus.
Nucleus vs nucleoid?
in microbiology and genetics, a plasmid is a DNA molecule that is separate from, and can replicate independently of, the chromosomal DNA. The nucleoid is an irregularly-shaped region within the cell of a prokaryote that contains all or most of the genetic material

DNA vs RNA
What is not true about DNA and rna?
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.

How is DNA separated into distinct bars (what is the difference between the bars at the bottom vs the bars at the top)?
Nucleic acid electrophoresis is an analytical technique use to separate DNA or RNA. The DNA fragments of different lengths are visualized using a fluorescent dye
What is a gel used for in molecular biology research?
A"gel" generally refers to an agarose gel which is used to visualise DNA, determine the size of DNA and even a tell you a bit about its's structure (supoercoiled DNA vs linear DNA). However some gels can also be used to look at protein (often as a "western blot" gel) or RNA. The size of DNA, RNA or protein can be determined by how fast it moves across the gel when you pass an electrical current through it.

Why are RNA primers needed?
RNA primers are used to initiate the DNA replication at the template strand. DNA molecules require a free 3' OH, to which it could add the nucleotides. This free 3' OH is provided by the RNA primer. So prior to the synthesis of DNA a short fragment of RNA is synthesized that is later excised and filled with DNA molecules.

They are classified by a number of different viral characteristics. These include DNA vs. RNA viruses, single strand (SS) vs. double strand viruses (DS), enveloped vs. non enveloped, or retrovirus. For example the HIV virus is an enveloped single stranded RNA retrovirus.
What is the video DNA vs The Book of Mormon about?
The video "DNA vs The Book of Mormon" challenges the very first lines in the Book of Mormon (in which it states that the people were descendants of Israelites) and claims they are a lie, and attempts to prove it's point through scientific DNA testing.
Nucleus vs nucleoid?

What actors and actresses appeared in DNA vs. the Book of Mormon - 2003?
The cast of DNA vs. the Book of Mormon - 2003 includes: David Glenn Smith as Molecular Anthropologist Randall Shortridge as Molecular Biologist Simon Southerton as Molecular Biologist Trent Southerton as Mormon Scholar Steven Whittington as Anthropologist
