Question

Differentiate between DNA and RNA...​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are two differences that distinguish DNA from RNA: (a) RNA contains the sugar ribose, while DNA contains the slightly different sugar deoxyribose (a type of ribose that lacks one oxygen atom), and (b) RNA has the nucleobase uracil while DNA contains thymine.

Answer 2

The differences between DNA and RNA -

1. DNA happens to be deoxyribonucleic acid whereas RNA is ribonucleic acid.

2. DNA is a polymer strand of deoxyribose and RNA happens to be the same with ribose.

3. DNA consists of two strands whereas RNA has only a single strand.

4. Thymine is present in DNA while RNA consists of nucleobase uracil.

5. The nucleus of a cell and the mitochondria is the active location of DNA whereas RNA is found in ribosomes.

6. DNA transfers information related to genetics whereas RNA supports the creation of proteins in the ribosomes.
