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.
What else can I help you with?
What are the three bases of RNA and DNA put together called?
The three bases of RNA and DNA put together are called codons in RNA and triplets in DNA. These sequences of bases encode specific amino acids or signal the end of protein synthesis.
How does RNA polymerase use DNA?
RNA polymerase reads the DNA template and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand by linking together RNA nucleotides according to the base pairing rules. RNA polymerase moves along the DNA strand in the 3' to 5' direction, synthesizing the RNA transcript in the 5' to 3' direction.
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 primase is used to synthesize short RNA primers that are needed for DNA replication by DNA polymerase. This RNA primer can be easily replaced by DNA once DNA polymerase starts synthesizing the new DNA strand. This is different from DNA primase which synthesizes RNA primers during the synthesis of Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand during DNA replication in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
What enzyme transcribes DNA?
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
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.
What does DNA work through intermediary?
RNA
What are the three bases of RNA and DNA put together called?
The three bases of RNA and DNA put together are called codons in RNA and triplets in DNA. These sequences of bases encode specific amino acids or signal the end of protein synthesis.
How does RNA polymerase use DNA?
RNA polymerase reads the DNA template and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand by linking together RNA nucleotides according to the base pairing rules. RNA polymerase moves along the DNA strand in the 3' to 5' direction, synthesizing the RNA transcript in the 5' to 3' direction.
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.
What enzyme is necessary for transcription?
The enzyme RNA polymerase transcribes DNA. This enzyme initiates transcription, joins the RNA nucleotides together, and terminates.
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.
How is mRNA put together?
DNA provides instructions for RNA polymerase
Why is RNA primase not DNA primase?
RNA primase is used to synthesize short RNA primers that are needed for DNA replication by DNA polymerase. This RNA primer can be easily replaced by DNA once DNA polymerase starts synthesizing the new DNA strand. This is different from DNA primase which synthesizes RNA primers during the synthesis of Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand during DNA replication in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
What does s and p stand for in DNA and rna strands?
I believe P stands for Sugar. Dont even get me started on S
What is the function of RNA polymerase?
RNA polymerase is an enzyme responsible for synthesizing RNA molecules from a DNA template during transcription. It reads the DNA template and catalyzes the formation of RNA by linking together RNA nucleotides in the correct sequence.
