It is easier to say which componants are different as the two types of molecule are very similar. RNA uses ribose in the sugar-phosphate backbone rather than deoxyribose, as in DNA. And in RNA uracil (U) is used in place of (T) as a base. These are the two major differences. If you want a list of similarities then:
-both use a sugar phosphate backbone onto which bases are assembled
-Both use four bases to encode information (A,T,C,G - DNA) and(A,U,C,G- RNA)
-both use hydrogen bonding between bases to join sense and antisense strands (both sides of the ladder)
-all nucleotides (bases) used to make to both DNA and RNA have 3 phosphate groups attached to them before they are added to the growing chain.
struggling to think of many more as effectively RNA is a copy of DNA with a few minor differences!
What else can I help you with?
Does the common cold have DNA or RNA?
when you ask for common cold you are talking maybe about rhinovirus and rhinovirus they have RNA
What is the name of the nucleotides have no DNA and no RNA?
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
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.
Which neuclitides found in RNA not in DNA?
Uracil is a nucleotide found in RNA but not in DNA. In RNA, uracil replaces thymine, which is found in DNA.
Does a polio virus contain DNA or RNA?
The influenza virus contains Both DNA and RNA.Its an exception.
What does a cell and virus have in common?
What a cell and a virus have in common is the RNA or DNA. The virus can be either a RNA virus or a DNA virus.
Is RNA or DNA most important to virus?
Some viruses move RNA, some DNA; but RNA is more common.
Does the common cold have DNA or RNA?
when you ask for common cold you are talking maybe about rhinovirus and rhinovirus they have RNA
What are the nitrogen basis in DNA and RNA?
Adenine,Thyamine,Guanine common to both.Cytocine in DNA.Uracil in RNA
Is DNA or RNA triple stranded?
DNA can form triple-stranded structures, although this is not common in nature. RNA can also form triple-stranded structures, particularly in certain non-canonical forms of RNA. Overall, triple-stranded structures are less common than the more prevalent double-stranded forms of DNA and RNA.
Where can nucleic acids be found?
In the hereditary information of DNA and RNA is a common place, in the chromosomes and center of cells
What four chemical structures do DNA and RNA have in common?
DNA and RNA both have a sugar-phosphate backbone, composed of deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA. They also share adenine, cytosine, and guanine as common nitrogenous bases. Additionally, both DNA and RNA can form double-stranded helical structures through complementary base pairing.
What enzyme transcribes DNA?
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
What is the name of the nucleotides have no DNA and no RNA?
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
What does some disease causing viruses have instead of DNA?
Some disease-causing viruses have RNA instead of DNA as their genetic material. RNA viruses include the influenza virus, HIV, and the common cold virus.
What is the substance in RNA but not DNA?
An uracil base is in RNA but not in DNA
What base does RNA have that DNA does not have?
RNA has the base uracil that DNA does not have.
