What are the differences and similarities between DNA and RNA?
Can you tell me about the differences and similarities between DNA and RNA?
Sure! Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids which contain genetic information. However, there are some differences between the two. For instance, DNA is made up of deoxyribose sugar while RNA is made up of ribose sugar. Additionally, DNA has a double helix structure whereas RNA is generally single stranded. Furthermore, DNA contains the base thymine while RNA contains the base uracil. However, there are some similarities as well, such as the fact that both DNA and RNA contain four nitrogenous bases - adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil/thymine.
