There are some differences between DNA and RNA 1) RNA is usually single stranded whereas DNA is double stranded 2) DNA ( Deoxyribosenucleic acid) has one less oxygen atom than RNA (Ribosenucleic acid) 3) The nucleotides in DNA differ from an RNA strand as DNA contains a Thymine nucleotide and RNA contains an Uracil nucleotide.

∙ 11y agoA DNA molecule is made up of deoxyribose sugar while RNA is made up of ribose sugar.
A DNA molecule is double stranded whilst a RNA molecule is single stranded.
A DNA molecule only contains the bases; Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine. However a RNA molecule contains the bases; Uracil, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine.
DNA is only found in the nucleus of a cell, while RNA is found in the cytoplasm.

What the difference between rna and dna in number of strands?
the difference between DNA and RNA AS DNA ARE DOUBLE STANDED AND RNA IS SINGLE STANDED
What molecule serves as a link between the information containing macro molecule DNA and protein synthesis?
mRNA (messenger RNA)
Explain how RNA differs from DNA biochemically?
RNA is a single stranded molecule while DNA is a double stranded molecule. RNA contains the sugar ribose while DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose. The difference between ribose and deoxyribose is ribose has one more -OH group than deoxyribose, which has -H attached to the second carbon in the ring.
What is a difference between rna and dna molecules?
One of the bases of RNA is uracil while one of the bases of DNA is thymine.
Relationship between the newly synthesized RNA molecule and the DNA template strand?
Complementary
What is the difference between cytidine in DNA and cytidine in RNA?
Cytidine is composed of one molecule each of cytosine and ribose. The cytosine molecule is the same between DNA and RNA, the difference is in the sugar backbone. In RNA it is ribose while in DNA it is deoxyribose.
What is the difference between DNA Molecule and RNA molecule?

Difference between the DNA and RNA?
the difference is that DNA is a double helix and RNA is a single chain
What molecule serves as a link between the information containing macro molecule DNA and protein synthesis?
mRNA (messenger RNA)
What is the difference between virus and baterias?
Bacteria has both DNA and RNA where as Virus has either DNA or RNA

Which of the following is true regarding complementary base pairing in DNA and RNA molecules?
Although the base pairing between two strands of DNA in a DNA molecule can be thousands to millions of base pairs long, base pairing in an RNA molecule is limited to short stretches of nucleotides in the same molecule or between two RNA molecules.
Why does the DNA molecule differs from the RNA molecule?
Generally the DNA molecule is double stranded to RNA's single strand. The RNA molecule uses uracil as a base while the DNA molecule uses thymine. RNA has catabolic properties that allow it to act in things such a ribosomes and tRNA. DNA is just a carrier of the genetic information.
What is the form of RNA that is transcribed from DNA?
A. rRNA Type of RNA molecule transcribed from a DNA template B. codon Sequence of three nucleotides on a messenger RNA molecule C. tRNA RNA component of ribosomes D. anticodon Connects mRNA codon to an amino acid E.mRNA Sequence of three nucleotides on a transfer RNA molecule
What is the type of organic molecule including DNA and RNA?
Nucleic acids, and Nucleotides.
What is the difference between ribonucleaic and deoxyribonucleaic acid?
No oxygen on the second carbon of the deoxyribose sugar used in DNA. That is the only difference between ribose and deoxyribose sugars. And, of course RNA is single stranded and has catalytic properties DNA does not have. DNA is strictly a storage of information molecule.
