RNA and DNA are very similar (that is, mRNA is similar, tRNA is quite different). mRNA is basically a single strand of DNA (DNA is a double helix, mRNA is singular), with two differeneces. Firstly, the sugar making up the backbone of the mRNA strand is a ribose sugar, not a deoxyribose sugar (like on DNA). Secondly, the nitrogenous base thymine (which is found on DNA) is replaced witha another base called uracil.
It's also worth noting that mRNA, while manufactured in the nucleus, can leave the nucleus and enter the cell cytoplasm - DNA cannot do this.
What else can I help you with?
Which is a single-ringed nitrogenous base?
Thymine is a single-ringed nitrogenous base.
Which nitrogenous base pairs with cytosine in DNA and RNA?
In both DNA and RNA, cytosine pairs with guanine.
What are three types of pyrimidines?
Cytosine and thymine are the nitrogenous bases used in DNA. Uracil substitutes for thymine in RNA.
What nitrogen base is found in RNA that pairs with adenine in DNA?
Uracil is the nitrogen base found in RNA that pairs with adenine in DNA.
What is made up of three parts a deoxyribose sugar a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base?
nucleotides that are the building blocks of nucleic acids are made up of sugar, a nitrogen base and phosphate group
What nitrogenous is found in rna but not in DNA?
A nitrogenous base that is found in RNA but not DNA is uracil.
What nitrogenous base is not found on DNA but is found on RNA?
Thymine is not found in RNA. It is instead replaced by Uracil.
What nitrogenous base base is found in RNA but not DNA?
Uracil.
Nitrogenous base is found in rNA but not in DNA?
Uracil.
What nitrogenous base is found in DNA but not in RNA is called what?
The nitrogenous base found in DNA but not RNA is called thymine. RNA contains the base uracil which during transcription(when genetic information is copied from DNA to RNA) pairs with the base adenine in DNA. So, DNA has four nitrogenous bases: (A) adenine, (C) cytosine, G (guanine), and T (thymine). And RNA has four nitrogenous bases: (A) adenine, (C) cytosine, G (guanine) and U (uracil)
Which of the nitrogenous bases is part of DNA but not RNA?
Thymine is a nitrogenous base that is part of DNA but not found in RNA. In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil.
What is a single ringed nitrogenous base?
Adenine is a single-ringed nitrogenous base found in DNA and RNA, paired with thymine in DNA and uracil in RNA.
What nitrogenous bases are not found is DNA?
Uracil is a nitrogenous base that is not found in DNA. DNA instead contains the bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. Uracil is found in RNA.
What may contain the nitrogenous base uracil?
Uracil is a nitrogenous base found in RNA and is not found in DNA. It pairs with adenine in RNA during transcription.
The nitrogenous base adenine is found in all members of which group?
The nitrogenous base adenine is found in all members of the nucleic acids group, which includes DNA and RNA. It pairs with thymine in DNA and uracil in RNA.
What is in RNA but not in RNA?
RNA is single stranded and has Uracil instead of Thymine.DNA is double stranded and has Thymine, not Uracil.
Which nitrogenous base would not be found in the nucleic acid that provides the genetic code?
Uracil is the nitrogenous base that is not found in DNA (the nucleic acid that provides the genetic code). Uracil is found in RNA.
