Basic rundown- Similarities: They are both Nucleic Acids and carriers of our genetic information; Three of Four common nucleotides are shared in both: ACG (Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine). Differences: RNA has U (Uracil), DNA has T (Thymine). RNA has a ribose sugar vs DNA's deoxyribose sugar (literally a one oxygen molecule difference). DNA gets Transcribed into RNA. RNA gets Translated into Amino Acids/Proteins.
In RNA, the nitrogenous base of U (Uracil) is in place of T (Thymine) in DNA.
In Rna: it replaces T (in Dna) for U (in Rna).
DNA has A-T and C-G while RNA has A-U and C-G
RNA uses Uracil (U) in place of T (thymine) in DNA.
First of all, the only RNA, that attaches to DNA is mRNA (messenger RNA), and it matches, Adenine from DNA and Uracil from RNA; Thymine from DNA with Adenine from RNA; Cytosine from DNA and Guanine from RNA; Guanine from DNA Cytosine and from RNA. * Also, mRNA complements the left half of DNA, for example if DNA's left half was (A = adenine, T = thymine**, G = guanine, C= cytosine, U = Uracil**) **Uracil is found only RNA **Thymine is found only in DNA A T G G C A T Then mRNA would be: U A C C G U A so overall DNA : mRNA A : U T : A G : C G : C C : G A : U T : A
The U stands for uracil. But remember, that uracil is only in RNA. In DNA the U is replaced with T (thymine).
Never - Uracil is only found in RNA. The four bases of DNA are A, T, G and C. In RNA, U replaces T.
The Complementary base pairing of DNA is A with T and C with G. In Rna, T is replaced with U.
cgguuacga the t in DNA changes to u in rna
RNA is single stranded and has Uracil instead of Thymine.DNA is double stranded and has Thymine, not Uracil.
DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid RNA: ribonucleic acid Both DNA and RNA are polymers of nucleotides. They both contain a sugar-phosphate backbone (deoxyribose sugar in DNA, ribose sugar in RNA) and they both contain A, G, and C nitrogenous bases (additionally, T in DNA and U in RNA).
