1. RNA have the base uracil whereas DNA have the base thymine.
2. RNA contain ribose sugar residues whereas DNA contain deoxyribose sugar residues.
3. RNA are single-stranded whereas DNA are double-stranded.
DNA contains deoxyribose as it's 5-carbon sugar, RNA contains ribose, DNA can't leave the nucleus, RNA can, DNA contains Thymine, RNA contains uracil in the place of thymine.
Differences include that RNA uses ribose as a sugar and DNA uses deoxyribose, and DNA uses the base thymine while RNA uses uracil.
There are three main differences between RNA and DNA: The sugar in RNA is ribose instead of deoxyribose, RNA is generally single-stranded, and RNA contains uracil in place of thymine.
DNA and RNA are alike because they both contain nitrogen bases, they are both nucleotides, they both contain sugar, and a phosphate.
- The sugar in RNA is ribose, and in DNA the sugar is deoxyribose. - RNA is usually single stranded, DNA is double-stranded helix. - RNA contains uracil instead of thymine. DNA does contain thymine. Like thymine, uracil can form a hydrogen bond with adenine. =]
DNA nucleotides contain the sugar deoxyribose. RNA nucleotides contain the sugar ribose. DNA contains the nitrogen bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. RNA contains the same nitrogen bases, except for thymine. RNA contains the nitrogen base uracil in place of thymine. DNA is a double-stranded molecule, whereas RNA is single-stranded.
Differences include that RNA uses ribose as a sugar and DNA uses deoxyribose, and DNA uses the base thymine while RNA uses uracil.
DNA and RNA are similar compounds with a few differences. In DNA, the sugar is deoxyribose; in RNA, it is ribose.
There are three main differences between RNA and DNA: The sugar in RNA is ribose instead of deoxyribose, RNA is generally single-stranded, and RNA contains uracil in place of thymine.
One of the major differences between DNA and RNA is the sugar, with 2-deoxyribose replaced by ribose in RNA. From ChaCha!
DNA and RNA are alike because they both contain nitrogen bases, they are both nucleotides, they both contain sugar, and a phosphate.
3 differences. RNA has an additional oxygen attached, is single stranded and has Uracil instead of Thymine
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.

Deoxy-ribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)
DNA nucleotides contain the sugar deoxyribose. RNA nucleotides contain the sugar ribose. DNA contains the nitrogen bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. RNA contains the same nitrogen bases, except for thymine. RNA contains the nitrogen base uracil in place of thymine. DNA is a double-stranded molecule, whereas RNA is single-stranded.
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
DNA nucleotides contain the sugar deoxyribose. RNA nucleotides contain the sugar ribose. DNA contains the nitrogen bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. RNA contains the same nitrogen bases, except for thymine. RNA contains the nitrogen base uracil in place of thymine. DNA is a double-stranded molecule, whereas RNA is single-stranded.
