STRUCTURE:One difference between RNA and DNA is-
|
|
RNA has thymine where DNA has ademine
|
|
|
DNA is single stranded where RNA is double stranded
|
|
|
DNA is made in the nucleus where RNA is made in the ribosomes
|
|
|
RNA is single stranded where DNA is double stranded
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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.
