1.DNA is deoxyrionucleic acid and contains the 5 carbon sugar deoxyribose. RNA is ribonucleic acid and contains the 5 carbon sugar ribose.
2. DNA is a double stranded molecule . RNA is single stranded.
3. DNA contains 4 bases Adenine (A) , Cytosine (C), Guanine (G) and Thymine (T). In RNA Thymine is replaced by Uracil(U) but also contains A, C and G.
4. Both DNA are composed of sub units called nucleotides.
5. A Nucleotide has 3 sub units: A 5 carbon sugar, An inorganic phosphate and one of four bases.
6. The nucleotides in both DNA and RNA are linked by chemical bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide and the Phosphate of the next to form a 'sugar- phosphate backbone'.
7. RNA has several types: Messenger RNA(mRNA), Transfer RNA (tRNA) and Ribosomal (rRNA)
8. Proteins are coded for by sequences of three bases on the nucleic acid strands.
9.. A series of three bases on DNA is called a Triplet. On mRNA a sequence of three bases is called a codon and on tRNA it is called an anticodon.
10. mRNA is copied from one strand of DNA by a process called Transcription.
10. DNA, being double stranded is too large to pass out of the nuclear pores and so is confined to the nucleus. mRNA being single stranded can pass out of the nucleus to carry the genetic code to the ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic retiticulum for translation into sequences of amino acids. (Called Translation)
11. DNA can undergo self replication, RNA can't.
12. The base pairing rule in DNA is A with T and C with G. In RNA the base pairing rule is A with U and C with G.
What else can I help you with?
Does DNA or RNA contain ribose in their molecular structure"?
Yes, both DNA and RNA contain ribose in their molecular structure.
How is the structure of RNA different from the structure of DNA?
RNA is single-stranded, while DNA is double-stranded. RNA contains the sugar ribose, while DNA contains deoxyribose. RNA has the base uracil instead of thymine found in DNA.
Does RNA have a double helix structure?
No, RNA does not have a double helix structure like DNA.
Does RNA have deoxyribose in its structure?
No, RNA does not have deoxyribose in its structure. RNA contains ribose sugar instead of deoxyribose, which is found in DNA.
Can RNA form a double helix structure?
No, RNA cannot form a double helix structure like DNA.

Does RNA have a double helix structure?
No, RNA does not have a double helix structure like DNA.
What is a similar structure of DNA?
RNA
What is a description of the structure of DNA and RNA?
DNA is double stranded whereas RNA is single stranded . They are different in their functioning as well .
What base is not found in the structure of DNA?
The base "uracil" is not found in the structure of DNA, but rather in RNA, as uracil replaces thymine in RNA.
Does RNA have deoxyribose in its structure?
No, RNA does not have deoxyribose in its structure. RNA contains ribose sugar instead of deoxyribose, which is found in DNA.
What are nucleotides the basic unit of?
DNA and RNA
Can RNA form a double helix structure?
No, RNA cannot form a double helix structure like DNA.
The basic kinds of nucleic acids are?
Rna's and Dna's
Is virus a structure?
Yes. It is either DNA or RNA.
What makes DNA different from RNA in terms of their structure and functions?
DNA and RNA are both nucleic acids, but they have key differences in their structure and functions. DNA is double-stranded, while RNA is single-stranded. DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA contains ribose. DNA stores genetic information, while RNA helps in protein synthesis and other cellular functions.
