Explain the differences between DNA and RNA.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between DNA and RNA is.....

DNA = Double-stranded

RNA = Singer-stranded

DNA = The sugar moiety is deoxy ribose

RNA = Ribose is the main sugar

DNA = Thymine is always there, but uracil is never found

RNA = Pyrimidine components differ. Thymine is never found

DNA = It follows Chargaffs rule (since it's double stranded)

RNA = Doesn't follow Chargaffs rule (since it's single stranded)

Hope this helped!

The DNA is a double-stranded molecule that has a long chain of nucleotides. The RNA is a single-stranded molecule which has a shorter chain of nucleotides. DNA replicates on its own, it is self-replicating. RNA does not replicate on its own.
