Acids and bases have been used by chemists for centuries, and are among the most fundamental reagents employed in synthetic organic chemistry. This Aldrich product line ranges from BrÃ¸nsted and Lewis... Chemfiles Volume 1 Article 3.
Bases are found in both DNA and RNA. As seen below, they are adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, and uracil. They are abbreviated (A, C, G, T, U). Three of the bases (A, G, C) are found in both DNA and RNA. However, uracil (U) is found only in RNA and thymine (T) is found only in DNA.he first three are the same as those found in DNA, but in RNA thymine is replaced by uracil as the base complementary to adenine. This base is also a pyrimidine and is very similar to thymine.
- DNA has a nitrogenous base called Thymine, but RNA doesn't. Instead, RNA has Uracil. In DNA thymine pairs with adenine, but in RNA uracil pairs with adenine. ... Differences: - DNA is double-stranded, RNA is single-stranded. - DNA contains a pentose sugar Deoxyribose, RNA contains the pentose sugar Ribose. A pentose is a 5-carbon sugar molecule. - DNA is limited to the nucleus, RNA is made in the nucleus, but can travel outside of it. - DNA has a nitrogenous base called Thymine, but RNA doesn't. Instead, RNA has Uracil. In DNA thymine pairs with adenine, but in RNA uracil pairs with adenine. - There is only one type of DNA but 3 kinds of RNA (messenger, transfer and ribosomal RNA) Similarities: - DNA and RNA are made up of monomers called nucleotides.
