In what three ways does the structure of RNA differ from that of DNA?
In protein formation, mRNA carries codes from the DNA in the nucleus to the sites of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm (the ribosomes). Ribosomes are composed of rRNA and protein; they can "read"...
DNA differs from RNA because DNA is or does what?
Contains thymine in place of uracil.DNA is double stranded and RNA is single stranded which contains only exons (coding sequence).
DNA differs from RNA in that DNA?
DNA is two stranded while RNA is usually one stranded. DNA uses a deoxyribose sugar while RNA uses a ribose sugar. DNA has the base thymine while RNA uses uracil in it's place. RNA is catalytic,...
How does Rna differ from DNA?
Rna means Ribonucleic-acid (rye- bo- new- clay- ic- a-Sid); DNA means Deoxyribonucleic-acid (de- oxy- rye- bo- new- clay- ic- a-Sid); DNA is Rna without the oxygen at the 2' carbon atom. As well, in...
Describe the structure of DNA and RNA?
DNA has a double helix structure while RNA is single stranded.
