1. DNA has Thymine as one of its nitrogenous bases while RNA has Uracil instead of Thymine.
2. RNA includes a ribose sugar, while DNA includes a deoxyribose.
3. In terms of their physical structure, DNA is a double helix, while RNA is a single strand.
4. DNA is found only inside of the nucleus because it is too big to pass through the nuclear pores. RNA passes through the nuclear envelope from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
5. DNA stands for DeoxyriboNucleic Acid while RNA is RiboNucleic Acid.
DNA is the data being stored within the nucleus, RNA is a messenger protein string that is used to create new parts of a cell, since the original DNA copy cannot be moved

∙ 13y agoRNA is the messenger DNA, it's pretty much an exact copy of DNA but a tad different. DNA never leaves the nucleus...RNA does. It travels outside the nucleus to the Endoplasmic Reticulum and the Ribosomes.....
RNA is ribonucleic acid and has a hydroxyl group that's missing from deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). RNA is transcribed from DNA in order to make proteins. RNA also has Uracil for a base instead of Thymine (DNA).

How is RNA different from RNA?
Did you mean how is RNA different from DNA?
Is DNA transciption is another word for DNA replication?
They are completely different processes in the central dogma. DNA replication is the replication of DNA into DNA by DNA polymerases. Trancription is the transcription of DNA into RNA by RNA polymerase.
Why is RNA primase not DNA primase?
RNA primer is a short strand of RNA that is synthesized along single-stranded DNA during replication, initiating DNA polymerase-catalyzed synthesis of the complementary strand. RNA primase is the enzyme that synthesize the RNA primer.
What statement describes DNA but not RNA?
DNA is different with some ways to RNA -It have two chains but RNA have one chains -ıt stored herditary material (genetic material ) and controled cell activities but RNA ' s function protein synthesis -DNA can make copy ofıtself but RNA cannot -DNA have deoxyribose sugar but RNA have ribose sugar
Does DNA consists of five different nucleotides and does RNA consists of four different nucleotides?
No, first of in total, both RNA and DNA combined have five nucleotides, DNA and RNA, both consists of three of the same nucleotides, and have one that varies between the two. Both DNA and RNA, have the nucleotides, guanine, cytosine and adenine, however DNA, has the additional nucleotide thymine and RNA instead of thymine has uracil. So, DNA's nucleotides are guanine, cytosine, adenine and thymine, while RNA's are guanine, cytosine, adenine and uracil. To specifically answer the question, no DNA consists of four different nucleotides and RNA consists of three of the same nucleotides, with one differing.
How is RNA different from RNA?
Did you mean how is RNA different from DNA?
Are DNA and RNA carbohydrates?
Yes, DNA and RNA have different sugar . DNA contains deoxyribose sugar whereas RNA consists of ribose sugar, which are completely different from each other.
Structure of tRNA different from DNA?
RNA makes up DNA. RNA makes up DNA. tRNA is a structure of DNA.
What makes DNA different from rna?
Ribose
What is the one letter that is different from DNA in the RNA code?
RNA uses Uracil (U) in place of T (thymine) in DNA.
What is a description of the structure of DNA and RNA?
DNA is double stranded whereas RNA is single stranded . They are different in their functioning as well .
What base is different in RNA from the bases in DNA?
Both DNA and RNA each contain the bases adenine, cytosine, and guanine. They differ in that DNA contains thymine whereas RNA contains uracil.
Is DNA transciption is another word for DNA replication?
They are completely different processes in the central dogma. DNA replication is the replication of DNA into DNA by DNA polymerases. Trancription is the transcription of DNA into RNA by RNA polymerase.
What is the primase and its function?
Primase in the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase enzyme that functions in DNA replication by synthesizing the RNA primers which are then extended by DNA polymerase to yield newly synthesized DNA fragments. While being an RNA polymerase, primase is different from the RNA polymerase that functions in the transcription of DNA.
What are different types of nucleic acids?
DNA and RNA
Why is RNA primase not DNA primase?
RNA primer is a short strand of RNA that is synthesized along single-stranded DNA during replication, initiating DNA polymerase-catalyzed synthesis of the complementary strand. RNA primase is the enzyme that synthesize the RNA primer.
How is a RNA different from a dna?
RNA contains the sugar ribose, while DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose. RNA contains the nitrogen base uracil, while DNA contains the nitrogen base thymine instead.
