DNA or RNA


How does the shape RNA different from the shape of DNA?

A DNA molecule is in the shape of a double helix. It is also known as a twisted ladder or a spiral staircase. A RNA molecule is in the shape of a single helix, seeing as it is single stranded.


Which describes the main main purpose of RNA polymerase during transcription?

RNA polymerase produce mRNA from DNA


How does shape of RNA differ from the shape of DNA?

It typically forms a single sometimes twisted strand, not a double helix like DNA.

How does the shape or RNA differ from the shape of DNA?

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid ) has double helix. a phosphate group, and 5 carbon sugar back bone. DNA also has 4 nucleotides that pair, Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine. RNA (ribonucleic acid) is a single strand with 5-carbon sugar that has one more oxygen than DNA. The nucleotides in RNA pair Adenine To URACIL, Guanine to Cytosine, and Thymine to Adenine (These pairings happen when the RNA is copying the DNA).


What statement describes DNA but not RNA?

DNA is different with some ways to RNA -It have two chains but RNA have one chains -ıt stored herditary material (genetic material ) and controled cell activities but RNA ' s function protein synthesis -DNA can make copy ofıtself but RNA cannot -DNA have deoxyribose sugar but RNA have ribose sugar


What is a double helix DNA or RNA?

A double helix is a twisted ladder-like structure that describes the shape of DNA. DNA is a molecule that carries genetic information in organisms. RNA is another type of nucleic acid that can form double helix structures under certain conditions, but it is less stable in this form compared to DNA.


What term describes the process of DNA making an RNA copy of itself?

This process is called transcription.


What distinguishes RNA from DNA?

First of all, RNA has ribose, which is what the R stands for. DNA had deoxyribose, which is what the D stands for. Also, RNA is a single strand, while DNA id double- stranded and has a double helix shape. Thirdly, DNA has Thymine, while RNA has Uracil.


What enzyme transcribes DNA?

The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
