Chemically RNA and DNA only differ by a single oxygen atom in each nucleotide. Specifically the sugar group in an RNA nucleotide is the sugar ribose, wherease the sugar group in DNA is deoxyribose.
Wikipedia has a nice image showing this here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nucleotides_1.svg
Structurally RNA and DNA are also different. DNA exists almost exclusively in a double stranded helix. RNA is typically thought of a single chain that has a far more chaotic structure with the RNA folding back onto itself creating small helical regions where possible.
DNA nucleotides contain a different sugar than RNA nucleotides.
What else can I help you with?
The structure of RNA differs from DNA in that?
RNA is usually single-stranded, while DNA is double-stranded. RNA contains ribose sugar and uracil base instead of deoxyribose sugar and thymine base found in DNA. RNA is typically shorter in length compared to DNA.
What are two ways to classify viruses?
Viruses can be classified based on their structure (DNA or RNA, enveloped or non-enveloped) and their method of replication (lytic or lysogenic life cycles).
How is the structure of RNA different from the structure of DNA?
RNA is single-stranded, while DNA is double-stranded. RNA contains the sugar ribose, while DNA contains deoxyribose. RNA has the base uracil instead of thymine found in DNA.
Does DNA or RNA contain ribose in their molecular structure"?
Yes, both DNA and RNA contain ribose in their molecular structure.
Does RNA have a double helix structure?
No, RNA does not have a double helix structure like DNA.
Why is RNA different from DNA and all of the following ways except?
RNA differs from DNA primarily in its structure and function. RNA is usually single-stranded, contains ribose sugar, and has uracil instead of thymine. However, both RNA and DNA are nucleic acids composed of nucleotide monomers and play crucial roles in genetic information storage and transfer.
The structure of RNA differs from DNA in that?
RNA is usually single-stranded, while DNA is double-stranded. RNA contains ribose sugar and uracil base instead of deoxyribose sugar and thymine base found in DNA. RNA is typically shorter in length compared to DNA.
What is one way that RNA differs from DNA?
RNA is single stranded,Pentose sugar is Ribose DNA has deoxyribose,Thymine of DNA is replaced by Uracil of RNA.
Structurally RNA differs from DNA by replacing?
thymine with uracil
Which pf these sentences states ehy the DNA molecule differs from the RNA molecule?
The DNA molecule differs from the RNA molecule in several key ways. DNA is double-stranded and has a deoxyribose sugar, while RNA is typically single-stranded and contains ribose sugar. Additionally, DNA uses thymine as one of its bases, whereas RNA replaces thymine with uracil. These structural differences contribute to their distinct functions in genetic information storage and protein synthesis.

Does DNA or RNA contain ribose in their molecular structure"?
Yes, both DNA and RNA contain ribose in their molecular structure.
Does RNA have a double helix structure?
No, RNA does not have a double helix structure like DNA.
What is a description of the structure of DNA and RNA?
DNA is double stranded whereas RNA is single stranded . They are different in their functioning as well .
What is a similar structure of DNA?
RNA
What base is not found in the structure of DNA?
The base "uracil" is not found in the structure of DNA, but rather in RNA, as uracil replaces thymine in RNA.
