How many sugar does RNA have?

RNA does not contain sugar like glucose, but is made up of ribose sugar molecules. A single RNA nucleotide contains one ribose sugar molecule.


Is RNA a double-stranded molecule?

No, RNA is a single-stranded molecule.


How many strands are in molecule of RNA?

Generally, RNA is single stranded, but there are exceptions, especially in catalytic RNA.


What is the difference between a DNA molecule and RNA molecule?

There are some differences between DNA and RNA 1) RNA is usually single stranded whereas DNA is double stranded 2) DNA ( Deoxyribosenucleic acid) has one less oxygen atom than RNA (Ribosenucleic acid) 3) The nucleotides in DNA differ from an RNA strand as DNA contains a Thymine nucleotide and RNA contains an Uracil nucleotide.


How many strands of nucleotides does a molecule of RNA contain?

A molecule of RNA contains one strand of nucleotides.


Does RNA contain ribose?

Yes, RNA contains ribose, which is a type of sugar molecule that forms the backbone of the RNA molecule.


What is the difference between DNA Molecule and RNA molecule?

A DNA molecule is made up of deoxyribose sugar while RNA is made up of ribose sugar. A DNA molecule is double stranded whilst a RNA molecule is single stranded. A DNA molecule only contains the bases; Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine. However a RNA molecule contains the bases; Uracil, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine. DNA is only found in the nucleus of a cell, while RNA is found in the cytoplasm.


Explain how RNA differs from DNA biochemically?

RNA is a single stranded molecule while DNA is a double stranded molecule. RNA contains the sugar ribose while DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose. The difference between ribose and deoxyribose is ribose has one more -OH group than deoxyribose, which has -H attached to the second carbon in the ring.


Rna contains what between the RNa?

RNA contains nucleotides, which are the building blocks of RNA molecules. Nucleotides are connected in a specific sequence to form the RNA molecule.


The molecule that contains an anticodon is?

transfer RNA or tRNA


When genes are copied in transcription the resulting copy is in the form of a?

When genes are copied in transcription, the resulting copy is in the form of a single-stranded RNA molecule. This RNA molecule contains a sequence of nucleotides that is complementary to the DNA template from which it was transcribed.


The RNA molecule is usually made up of how many strands?

The RNA molecule is usually made up of a single strand. This is unlike the DNA molecule which has double strands.
