RNA stands for Ribo-nucleic acid, or a nucleic acid with the sugar ribose as the base. DNA stand for deoxyribo-nucleic acid, or a nucleic acid with the sugar deoxyribose as the base. Both are composed of bound nucleotides that form a long, double helical strand. The individual nucleotide is made up of a phosphate-sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) backbone, and a nucelotide (either adenine, cytosine, guanine or thymine - note that uracil exists in the place of thymine in RNA molecules). The nucelotides bind the 2 strands together, while the phosphate-sugar backbone binds the multiple nucleotides together.
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
No, only RNA contains uracil.
RNA and DNA are nucleic acids because they are composed of chains of nucleotides, which make up nucleic acids.
DNA and RNA are both nucleic acids. They both carry genetic information. They both have nucleotides composed of a phosphate, a sugar and a nitrogenous base.
DNA and RNA are composed of many nucleotides joined together in a specific sequence.
DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.

No, only RNA contains uracil.
Genes are segments of DNA that contain the instructions for making proteins. RNA is synthesized from DNA and plays a key role in translating genetic information into proteins. Genes are composed of DNA, not RNA.
RNA and DNA are nucleic acids because they are composed of chains of nucleotides, which make up nucleic acids.
DNA and RNA are both nucleic acids. They both carry genetic information. They both have nucleotides composed of a phosphate, a sugar and a nitrogenous base.
DNA and RNA are composed of many nucleotides joined together in a specific sequence.
A typical virus is composed of a core of DNA or RNA surrounded by a protein coat.
DNA and RNA are examples of polymers of nucleotides. DNA is composed of two strands of nucleotides, while RNA is typically single-stranded. Both DNA and RNA play essential roles in genetic information storage and protein synthesis.
Both DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides containing a five carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases.
A DNA molecule is composed of long chains of DNA nucleotides.
