Knoxville is one of the hardest sections of the country in which to predict the weather. There is a topographical reason for Knoxvilleâs gentle climate. The Cumberland Plateau and Great Smoky Mountains shelter the Tennessee Valley, providing an annual average temperature of 56 degrees.
Each nucleotide consists of a sugar, a phosphate and a nucleic acid base. The sugar in DNA is deoxyribose. The sugar in RNA is ribose, the same as deoxyribose but with one more OH (oxygen-hydrogen atom combination called a hydroxyl).This is the biggest difference between DNA and RNA. Another difference is that RNA molecules can have a much greater variety of nucleic acid bases.he sugar in DNA is deoxyribose. The sugar in RNA is ribose, the same as deoxyribose but with one more OH (oxygen-hydrogen atom combination called a hydroxyl). This is the biggest difference between DNA and RNA.
Other than these differences, DNA and RNA are the same. Their phosphates, sugars, and bases show the same bonding patterns to form nucleotides and their nucleotides bind to form nucleic acids in the same way. 1  RNA is a single-stranded nucleic acid.2  RNA has a ribose sugar instead of a deoxyribose sugar like DNA. 3  RNA nucleotides have a uracil base instead of thymine.he main difference between the three-dimensional structures of DNA and RNA is that in RNA the three-dimensional structure is single-stranded.
