DNA and RNA are two different nucleic acids found in the cells of every living organism. Both have significant roles to play in cell Biology. DNA and RNA structure are similar because they both consist of long chains of nucleotide units. However, there are a few structural details that distinguish them from each other, and if you are to compare DNA and RNA, these would be the results:
RNA is single-stranded while DNA is a double-stranded helix. RNA also has uracil as its base while the DNA base is thymine. However, even with the differences in their structures, DNA and RNA have cooperating roles in the field of Cell Biology.
DNA contains the genetic information of an organism, and this information dictates how the body's cells would construct new proteins according to the genetic code of the organism. Within the cell structure, DNA is organized into structures called chromosomes, which are duplicated during cell division.
These chromosomes would then release the genetic codes that will be transcribed and carried by the RNA (specifically the messenger RNA) to the ribosome. The ribosome will then synthesize new proteins that will help the body grow. This is the how the DNA and RNA work together in the body.

How do you put RNA in a sentence?
A molecule that works together with DNA to make proteins is RNA
What enzyme is necessary for transcription?
The enzyme RNA polymerase transcribes DNA. This enzyme initiates transcription, joins the RNA nucleotides together, and terminates.
Why is RNA primase not DNA primase?
RNA primer is a short strand of RNA that is synthesized along single-stranded DNA during replication, initiating DNA polymerase-catalyzed synthesis of the complementary strand. RNA primase is the enzyme that synthesize the RNA primer.
What are the three bases of RNA and DNA put together called?
codon
What bonds hold RNA molecules together?
A hydrogen bond holds DNA together and a covalent holds rna together
The nucleic acids RNA and DNA work together to?
specify the order of amino acids in protein synthesis
How does RNA work together with DNA?
Ribosomal RNA or rRNA is the main constituent of ribosomes. It performs the peptidyl transferase function of combining amino acids together via peptide bonds.
How do you put RNA in a sentence?
A molecule that works together with DNA to make proteins is RNA
What does DNA work through intermediary?
RNA
What enzyme is necessary for transcription?
The enzyme RNA polymerase transcribes DNA. This enzyme initiates transcription, joins the RNA nucleotides together, and terminates.
Hoes does the transfer of RNA work?
The transfer of RNA works in a similar way to DNA except that RNA does not have a "backup" or double stand of chromosomal information in the DNA material.
How do you write an RNA sequence if given the DNA sequence?
Bases A and T link together and C and G link together. If your DNA sequence was, for example, ATCGAGT your RNA sequence would be TAGCTCA.
Why is RNA primase not DNA primase?
RNA primer is a short strand of RNA that is synthesized along single-stranded DNA during replication, initiating DNA polymerase-catalyzed synthesis of the complementary strand. RNA primase is the enzyme that synthesize the RNA primer.
What are the three bases of RNA and DNA put together called?
codon
How is mRNA put together?
DNA provides instructions for RNA polymerase
Where is DNA changes to RNA?
DNA changes to RNA when the nucleus is going through protein synthesis. in order for your ribosomes to make protein they must copy a portion of your DNA, change it into RNA then translate the RNA into amino acid sequences which come all together to make a protein ...
What are two types of nucleic acid found the cell?
Deoxy-ribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)
