What are the similarities and differences between DNA and messenger RNA?

Answer 1

well the difference is that DNA's bases are thymine guanine cytosine and Ardine. But RNA instead of having thymine has uracil. DNA in most of the time doubled stranded when RNA is normally single stranded. The DNA contains the genetic information and the rna transferes the information into proteins. Anyone have and similarities?

also following are some more differences:

DNA:1. it consists of the deoxyribose sugar

2. it is more reactive

3. it has no further types or kinds

4. in the cell it is present in the nucleus only.

5.dna's bases are thymine guanine cytosine and adenine.

6. It is double stranded and arranged in a helix structure

7. it is the hereditary material

RNA: 1. it had ribose sugar

2. it is more reactive

3. it has 3 further types namely m RNA, t RNA, r RNA.

4.in the cell it is present in the nucleus as well as the cytoplasm

5.RNA instead of having thymine has uracil a the nitrogenous base

6. it is single stranded

7.it is involved in protein synthesis

Answer 2

the simillartites is that both have functin of passing information and also they have three bases same the difference is that of sugar in DNA it is deoxyribose and in rna it is ribose sugar the second difference is that the DNA is double helicle and have thymine base on other hand rna is single stranded and have uracil base

Answer 3

Similarities include the fact that they are both nucleic acids, and that they have 5' and 3' ends. Differences include that RNA uses ribose as a sugar and DNA uses deoxyribose, and DNA uses the base thymine while RNA uses uracil.

Answer 4

Both DNA strands and RNA are strands of genetic material. They are basically the same thing except that RNA is a single-stranded molecule in most of its biological roles and has a shorter chain of nucleotides. DNA is typically a double-stranded molecule and has a long chain of nucleotides.
