Answer:

RNA is actually smaller than DNA

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA contains codes for making lots of different proteins, while RNA only contains the info to make one single protein, or just a part of a protein if it is made up of more than one other protein.

No it’s the other way around .

RNA is much shorter than DNA. DNA contains the code for making lots and lots of different proteins. Messenger RNA contains the information to make just one single polypeptide chain - in other words for just one protein, or even just a part of a protein if it is made up of more than one polypeptide chain.
