DNA-to-RNA complementaru base?

Question

How does DNA-to-RNA complementary base pairing differ from DNA-to-DNA complementary base pairing?

Answer 1

In DNA, Adenine and Thymine are complementary bases and Guanine and Cytosine. In RNA Thymine is replaced by Uracil.

Answer 2

Both DNA and RNA are composed of repeating units of nucleotides. 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. DNA has mostly just 4 different bases with a few

extra occasionally.  The difference in these bases (between DNA and RNA)

allows RNA molecules to assume a wide variety of shapes and also  many

different functions. DNA, on the other hand, serves as a set of directions

and that's about all

DNA, which stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, is the long-chain molecule that contains the genetic material (encoded hereditary characteristics)

in living organisms. RNA, which stands for ribonucleic acid, is also a long-chain molecule. The function of RNA is to translate the genetic material stored in DNA, into protein structures. RNA essentially carries out the instructions of DNA.

DNA is a type of complex acid, called a nucleic acid, made of a repeating pattern of simple building blocks called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a phosphate (PO4), a sugar (deoxyribose), and a base which is either adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), or cytosine (C). In a DNA molecule, nucleotides exist as two spiral strands linked at their bases (either between A and T or between G and C). This structure, which resembles a twisted ladder, is known as a double...

Answer 3

RNA is single stranded and instead of having a T base, there is a U. so when they are paring up in DNA to DNA, A pairs with T and G pairs with C, where as in RNA, A pairs with U and C still pairs with G.

hope that makes sense

Answer 4

DNA

a-t

c-g

RNA

a-u

c-g

the only difference is that t is replaced with u

Answer 5

The only difference is that  RNA contains no thymine, uracil is used instead.  So as RNA is being made, the adenine of the DNA is paired with a uracil in RNA.

DNA sequence ATCG

RNA sequence UAGC

Answer 6

It's true that DNA contains the bases adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G) and RNA contains those with Uracil (U) in place of thymine. Also, that A pairs with T and C with G in DNA and A pairs with U and C with G in RNA.

However, there are more complicated pairing systems. Also some RNA molecules such as the transfer RNAs (tRNAs) contain additional types of bases like pseudouridine (psi) and dihydrouridine (DHU). These bases can also form base pairs with certain nucleotides.

Its important to know that A-T (U) and C-G are called Watson-Crick base pairs and while these are the most classic, there are others.
