|
|
|
RNA contains the sugar deoxyribose instead of ribose.
|
|
|
RNA contains the nitrogen base thymine instead of uracil.
|
|
|
RNA consists of one nucleotide chain instead of two.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The bases used in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). In RNA, the base uracil (U) takes the place of thymine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: DNA is made up of Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine. RNA has these same bases, except in RNA, there is no Thymine. Instead, Uracil is found.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA is a double-stranded molecule that has a long chain of nucleotides. RNA is a single-stranded molecule which has a shorter chain of nucleotides. DNA replicates on its own, it is self-replicating. RNA does not replicate on its own.
Detailed explanation-4: -RNA contains uracil, while DNA contains thymine. Explanation: RNA is different than DNA in that it 1) is single stranded (DNA is double stranded), 2) contains uracil (DNA contains thymine instead), and 3) contains a ribose sugar (DNA contains a deoxyribose sugar).
