Question

Two differences between the structure of dna and rna

Answer 1

Answer:Sugar Backbone:

- DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) has a deoxyribose sugar in its backbone. This sugar lacks an oxygen atom on its second carbon.

- RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) has a ribose sugar in its backbone. This sugar has an oxygen atom on its second carbon.

2. Nitrogenous Bases:

- DNA has four nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).

- RNA also has adenine (A), cytosine (C), and guanine (G), but instead of thymine (T), it has uracil (U).
