What is the difference DNA and RNA

Question

What is the difference DNA and RNA

Answer 1

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) cannot leave the cell.

RNA (ribonucleic acid) is a copy of DNA and can leave the cell.

Answer 2

DNA is your database

RNA is the messenger which translates DNA's function without affecting/using the DNA itself.

(simplisticly explained)

Answer 3

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is double stranded and made from deoxyribose sugar. It carries all of your genetic info.

RNA (ribonucleic acid) is single stranded and made from ribose sugar. Use for translating the DNA and sending messages.

Answer 4

DNA has adenine, and RNA has uracil. DNA is double-stranded, and RNA is single-stranded. DNA has deoxyribose and RNA has ribose. DNA stays inside the nucleus, and RNA is in the cytoplasm. DNA is long, and RNA usually codes for only one polypeptide.

Answer 5

The difference in structure is a nitrogen base.  In function, DNA is kind of a recipe book for RNA, and RNA is a recipe book for protein.

Answer 6

Deoxy ribose vs. Ribose functional groups.
