<span> Both of them are nucleic acids. And that is about the only similarity they share. ;)
One of the major differences between the two is that DNA is double-stranded and RNA is single stranded. Also, DNA contains the nucleotide T whereas RNA contains U.
RNA copies the genetic information found within DNA and uses it to assemble protein, as well as ribosomes. Hence, RNA is a crucial part in protein synthesis, being directly involved in it, whereas DNA is indirectly involved in this process.
There are three types of RNA: mRNA (messenger RNA), rRNA (ribosomal RNA) and tRNA (transfer RNA). As far as DNA is concerned, there is only one type of DNA. ;) Another difference.
Also, in some viruses the RNA replaces the DNA but the DNA will never replace the RNA. Yet another difference. </span>
Cell differentiation is how generic embryonic cells become specialized cells. This occurs through a process called gene expression. Gene expression is the specific combination of genes that are turned on or off (expressed or repressed), and this is what dictates how a cell functions.
By understanding DNA and gene expression, humans have been able to understand how genetic diseases are caused, therefore they have been able to devise gene therapy and other technologies to treat such disease. Second, the understanding has also allowed humans to devise plants that are resistant to pests and drought hence increasing crop yields.
A negative aspect of this understanding is the issue of bioterrorism. In the wrong hands, this technology can be used against society. The technology can be used to modify organisms to make them deliberately harmful to humans. Second is the issue of bioethics. This technology can be used to enhance humans and result to an ‘arms race’ between human races that can tear down the social fabric.

Answer:
carbohydrate for quick energy boost
protein to grow healthy hair
carbohydrate to race tomorrow
proteins to get bigger muscles
Explanation
carbohydrates contain glucose that can be broken down through glycolysis to provide energy in form of ATP. proteins are the main body building organic compounds. Keratin a type of protein is required for healthy hair growth. muscles also require proteins to get bigger.
