tRNAs are small RNA molecules that carry amino acids to growing polypeptide chains that are being made in a ribosome. The have anti-codons that are complimentary to the codons on the mRNA. They carry an amino acid that is specific to their anti-codon.

mRNA is an RNA copy of a gene in the DNA that sends instruction for making a protein to the cytoplasm from the nucleus.

What are DNA and RNA similarities?

DNA and RNA contain purine and pyrimidine nitrogenous bases, one benzoic acid radicle and one pentose.


What are the similarities between rna polymerase and DNA polymerase?

Both RNA and DNA form in the same manner. They add bases to the 3' end of the base to form a polymer.


Is RNA or DNA most important to virus?

Some viruses move RNA, some DNA; but RNA is more common.


What does DNA and RNA ultimately construct?

DNA is transcribed into RNA which is translated into proteins. Only a small percentage of DNA and RNA become proteins. Some of the time the process stops after DNA is transcribed into RNA.


What are the 30 differences between DNA and RNA?

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.


What is not true about DNA and rna?

Basic rundown- Similarities: They are both Nucleic Acids and carriers of our genetic information; Three of Four common nucleotides are shared in both: ACG (Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine). Differences: RNA has U (Uracil), DNA has T (Thymine). RNA has a ribose sugar vs DNA's deoxyribose sugar (literally a one oxygen molecule difference). DNA gets Transcribed into RNA. RNA gets Translated into Amino Acids/Proteins.


Traditional classifications tended to take into account primarily A extinct organisms B RNA similarities C DNA similarities D Visible similarities and differences?

general similarities in appearance


Do some viruses have rna rather than DNA?

Yes, that is correct - some viruses have RNA, others DNA.


What may contain DNA or RNA but not both?

Viruses can contain either DNA or RNA, but not both. However, some viruses may have both DNA and RNA at different stages of their replication cycle.


What similarities do DNA and RNA share in terms of their structure and function?

DNA and RNA are both nucleic acids that contain genetic information. They are made up of nucleotides, which consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Both DNA and RNA have a double helix structure, but RNA is usually single-stranded. They both play a crucial role in protein synthesis and gene expression.


What enzyme transcribes DNA?

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


What are the differences between single-stranded DNA and RNA?

Single-stranded DNA and RNA are both nucleic acids, but they have some key differences. DNA is typically double-stranded, while RNA is single-stranded. DNA uses the base thymine, while RNA uses uracil. Additionally, DNA is more stable and less prone to mutations compared to RNA.
