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.
What else can I help you with?
Viruses contain DNA and RNA true or false?
Yes. Although not both together, a virus contains a nucleic acid, either single stranded or double stranded DNA or RNA.
Can some RNA and DNA viruses change healthy cells into cancerous cells?
true
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.
Is it true or false that hiv uses reverse transcriptase to make ds RNA copies of its DNA genome?
False. HIV uses reverse transcriptase to make single-stranded RNA copies of its RNA genome.
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.
Rna and DNA probes bind specifically to the single stranded DNA of their target?
true
What is a true statement of the genetic material in viruses?
it can be DNA or RNA
Is it true that both DNA and RNA are double-stranded molecules?
No, DNA is typically double-stranded, while RNA is usually single-stranded.
Is it true that the genetic material in DNA or RNA is single-stranded?
No, the genetic material in DNA is double-stranded, while RNA can be single-stranded.
Is RNA a disposable copy of DNA?
RNA is not a disposable copy of DNA; it is a nucleic acid that plays important roles in the synthesis of proteins and other cellular processes. RNA carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis through the process of transcription and translation.
Viruses contain DNA and RNA true or false?
Yes. Although not both together, a virus contains a nucleic acid, either single stranded or double stranded DNA or RNA.
What enzyme transcribes DNA?
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
Can some RNA and DNA viruses change healthy cells into cancerous cells?
true
Which of the following is true regarding current scientific thought?
RNA originated before DNA
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 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.
