How does DNA differ from RNA?
RNA differs from DNA in that it contains a ribose instead of deoxyribose, uses uracil instead of thymine, and is not only found in the nucleus like DNA. In eukaryotes, RNA is transcribed in the nucleus, then it is exported into the cytoplasm where it binds to ribosomes during translation.
Which is not a main difference between DNA and RNA?
DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, while RNA is ribonucleic acid….Comparison of DNA and RNA.

| Name | DeoxyriboNucleic Acid | RiboNucleic Acid |
Which of the following is not found in RNA?
DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid and RNA stands for Ribonucleic acid. Uracil is present in the RNA whereas in the DNA we see thymine instead of Uracil. Thus thymine is absent from the RNA. Hence the correct option is option B, Thymine.
Which of the following is not a segment of DNA?
The correct answer to this question is “e. Inducers of gene expression are not DNA fragments, but rather molecules capable of…
Which base is found in RNA but not in DNA?
Uracil
Uracil. Uracil is present in RNA and binds to adenine whereas thymine is present in DNA and binds to adenine.
Which base is present in RNA but not in DNA?
Which RNA does not code for any protein?
Transfer RNA is important for making the protein from RNA, but does not code for making protein itself. Micro RNA, or miRNA, prevents protein from being made by targeting the coding RNA to be degraded.
What are 3 major differences between DNA and RNA?
This arrangement of DNA strands is called antiparallel. The asymmetric ends of DNA strands are referred to as the5′ (five prime) and3′ (three prime) ends. One of the major differences between DNA and RNA is the sugar, with2-deoxyribose being replaced by the alternative pentose sugar ribose in RNA.
How do you compare and contrast DNA and RNA?
DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose , while RNA contains the sugar ribose. The only difference between ribose and deoxyribose is that ribose has one more -OH group than deoxyribose, which has -H attached to the second (2′) carbon in the ring. DNA is a double-stranded molecule while RNA is a single stranded molecule.
What is the relationship between DNA and RNA?
DNA and RNA are nucleic acids that play complementary roles in living cells. The process of transcription transfers the cell’s genetic information between DNA and RNA. Translation is the process by which the cell uses the RNA to create essential proteins.
What do DNA and RNA have in common?
Both DNA and RNA have four nitrogenous bases each—three of which they share ( Cytosine , Adenine , and Guanine ) and one that differs between the two (RNA has Uracil while DNA has Thymine). One of the most significant similarities between DNA and RNA is that they both have a phosphate backbone to which the bases attach. Click to see full answer
