Question

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Answer 1

DNA contains all of the genetic information necessary to construct cells, to integrate them into an organism and to maintain them. RNA translates this information into specific instructions for the assembly of proteins; transmits the information outside the cell nucleus and helps to assemble them. Each DNA molecule contains hundreds of millions of atoms in a specific and unique sequence.

Answer 2

DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.
RNA: ribonucleic acid, a nucleic acid present in all living cells. Its principal role is to act as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins, although in some viruses RNA rather than DNA carries the genetic information.

Answer 3

Lol, yep.

Answer 4

Thank you:)

Answer 5

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is double stranded (double helix) and the two strands are comlementary to each other (G with C and A with T). DNA codes for everything, sometimes directly, but often indirectly. It even codes for RNA.

RNA (ribonucleic acid) is single stranded. RNA is made up of base pairs (so is DNA). 3 base pairs comprise a codon, which codes for different amino acids, which make up proteins. So with the help of ribosomes, RNA makes proteins. Also there are thre types of RNA, rRNA (ribosomal RNA) mRNA (messenger RNA) and tRNA (transfer RNA) which are complementary to eachother when making a protein, this time however the A is not complementary with T, but instead it is complementary with U.
