- 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. =]

∙ 14y ago1- RNA has Uracil, while DNA has Thymine.
2- RNA is single stranded.
3- DNA is made up of the sugar deoxyribose. The sugar in RNA is ribose, ribose has one more hydroxyl (OH) than ribose.

State the three main differences between RNA and DNA?
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.
Differences in separation and band intensity between your gel and the ideal gel?
the differences are due to different amounts of dna. the ower the amt of dna, the lower the intensity
What is DNA fingerprinting Mention its application?
It is a technique used to distinguish between individual of species on the basis of differences in their dna content
What is the differences between a geno and pheno type?
Phenotype- What Your DNA Looks Like ON THE OUTSIDE. Genotype- Your Actual DNA, Such As Aa, Or oo.
How are differences between DNA amino acid sequence used to show relatedness between species?
the acid burns the fats

Why are there differences between the DNA charts for the mother and the child?
There are there differences between the DNA charts for the mother and the child because the child only shares one half of the mother's DNA. The other half of the child's DNA comes from the father.
Differences in separation and band intensity between your gel and the ideal gel?
the differences are due to different amounts of dna. the ower the amt of dna, the lower the intensity
What organic molecule determines differences between living organisms?
dna
What are differences between isolation and purification?
They are the same (if you are talking about genomic DNA)
Three main differences between RNA and DNA?
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.
What accounts for the differences between organisms?
The unique base sequence if the individuals dnA
What is DNA fingerprinting Mention its application?
It is a technique used to distinguish between individual of species on the basis of differences in their dna content
What is the main difference between DNA helicases and DNA molecules?
DNA helicases are proteins, while DNA molecules are nucleotides.
How are restriction enzymes used to look for differences between DNA samples?
Restriction enzymes cleave, or open, the DNA so that a sample can be taken and gel electrophoresis can separate the strands of DNA. From there, DNA probes bind to certain strands in each sample and DNA fingerprints can show the differences.
What is the differences between a geno and pheno type?
Phenotype- What Your DNA Looks Like ON THE OUTSIDE. Genotype- Your Actual DNA, Such As Aa, Or oo.
Why does natural selection depend on variations and DNA?
The variations in the DNA are responsible in differences between desirable traits and unwanted traits. Mutations also cause changes in the DNA.
