There are 3 main differences between the two (which we just went over in bio this morning!)
1) RNA contains uracil instead of thymine that pairs up with adenine.
2) Their sugars are different, RNA has ribose sugar, while DNA has deoxyribose sugar (hence their names)
3) DNA is double stranded while RNA is single stranded.
Hope that is good enough!

The structure of RNA differs from DNA in that?
the backbone of RNA contains ribose.
What is the difference between RNA and DNA with respect to the bases involved?
RNA has uracil; DNA has thymine (5-methyl uracil). The other difference (and the reason for the difference in the names) is that the sugar in RNA is ribose, but in DNA it is 2-deoxyribose.
Which of these sentences states why the DNA molecule differs from the RNA Molecule?
Generally the DNA molecule is double stranded to RNA's single strand. The RNA molecule uses uracil as a base while the DNA molecule uses thymine. RNA has catabolic properties that allow it to act in things such a ribosomes and tRNA. DNA is just a carrier of the genetic information.
Why is thymine found in Dna but not in Rna?
Rna differs from Dna by just one oxygen atom. This results in a very slight change in shape that allows more efficient packing.The substitution of Uracil in Rna [instead of Thymine] has the same effect - improved spacing; it most likely provides a 'unique identification' function as well, all those Dna and Rna polymerases need to have some way to direct them to their appropriate Job Sites.
How does DNA differ structurally from RNA?
The DNA and RNA differs in three aspects. Their difference are: RNA has single strand nucleic acid; RNA sugar is ribose while DNA has deoxyribose; and the nucleotides of RNA is uracil while the DNA has thymine.
What is one way that RNA differs from DNA?
RNA is single stranded,Pentose sugar is Ribose DNA has deoxyribose,Thymine of DNA is replaced by Uracil of RNA.
The structure of RNA differs from DNA in that?
the backbone of RNA contains ribose.
Structurally RNA differs from DNA by replacing?
thymine with uracil
RNA differs from Dna in that it contains?
A Ribose sugar as 'opposed to' a 2'- deoxy - Ribose sugar.
Why does the DNA molecule differs from the RNA molecule?
Generally the DNA molecule is double stranded to RNA's single strand. The RNA molecule uses uracil as a base while the DNA molecule uses thymine. RNA has catabolic properties that allow it to act in things such a ribosomes and tRNA. DNA is just a carrier of the genetic information.
What are The bases present in an RNA molecule?
The four bases in RNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Uracil. This differs from DNA, which has Thymine instead of Uracil.
What is the difference between RNA and DNA with respect to the bases involved?
RNA has uracil; DNA has thymine (5-methyl uracil). The other difference (and the reason for the difference in the names) is that the sugar in RNA is ribose, but in DNA it is 2-deoxyribose.
RNA differs from DNA in all of the following wy except?
a flat shape cell found in the lung

RNA differs from DNA because RNA is?
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, while DNA is only an information storage molecule.
Hoes does the transfer of RNA work?
The transfer of RNA works in a similar way to DNA except that RNA does not have a "backup" or double stand of chromosomal information in the DNA material.
