They are named by what structures are attached to it. Based on what sugar (deoxyribose or ribose) and the nitrogen base (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, or uracil), they are able to determine what nucleic acid the nucleotide is part of.
structure of chemical compounds. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid and RNA stands for ribonucleic acid.
Guanine
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
Uracil is a nucleotide found in RNA but not in DNA. In RNA, uracil replaces thymine, which is found in DNA.
DNA --> RNA --> Proteins -----------------------------------------That simple.
structure of chemical compounds. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid and RNA stands for ribonucleic acid.
DNA is named DNA because it is de-oxy ribo nucleic acid. In contrast to RNA, DNA doesnt have 2'-oxygen in the ribose sugar hence it is stable than RNA. Chemically DNA is the same for any genes that code for different proteins.
Guanine
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
An uracil base is in RNA but not in DNA
RNA has the base uracil that DNA does not have.
because they reverse the usual DNA-to-RNA flow of genetic information in the process called transcription
Yes, DNA and RNA have different sugar . DNA contains deoxyribose sugar whereas RNA consists of ribose sugar, which are completely different from each other.
Comparing DNA and RNA, some key differences include: DNA is double-stranded, while RNA is single-stranded; DNA contains deoxyribose sugar, RNA contains ribose sugar; DNA has thymine base, RNA has uracil base; DNA is found in the nucleus, RNA is found in the cytoplasm; DNA is stable, RNA is less stable; DNA is the genetic material, RNA is involved in protein synthesis. These are just a few of the many distinctions between DNA and RNA.
Uracil is a nucleotide found in RNA but not in DNA. In RNA, uracil replaces thymine, which is found in DNA.
No... DNA is much longer than RNA.
