How does rna differ from dna

Biology
1 answer:
Evgesh-ka [11]4 years ago
8 0

The main difference between DNA and RNA is their chemical composition namely in their sugar and pyrimidine bases.

DNA has the bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine and the sugar deoxyribose.

RNA has  the bases adenine, guanine, cytosine and uracil and the sugar ribose.

Besides differing chemically, RNA is usually single stranded while most DNA is usually double stranded forming a double helix.

An RNA strand can coil back on itself to form a hairpin-shaped structure with complementary base pairing and helical organization.

Do plants undergo photosynthesis in a dark environment (not total absence of light)? If so, what would you expect to happen to t
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In a situation whereby a plant is in an environment where light is not totally absent, the plant continues to photosynthesize at a slower rate.

Recall that photosynthesis is the process by which green plants make their own food in the presence of sunlight, chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and water.

In a low light, plants are forced to stretch towards the low light source. This is known as etiolation of plants.

What are the differences between a pond and a lake
jenyasd209 [6]
A lake is so deep that light cannot reach all the way to the bottom, so the photosynthesis occurs in the top layers. A pond can have rooted plants, because light reaches down to the very bottom.

Which situation would pose a major difficulty for applying the biological species concept?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Complete Question

Which of the following situations would pose a major difficulty for applying the biological species concept?

a) Two populations of sexually reproducing plants that can be bred easily in the same location under field conditions

b) Two populations of sexually reproducing insects that can be bred easily in the same location under field conditions

c) Five snail fossils taken from the same locality during a 400,000-year time span

d) Dimorphic mating pairs of birds

e) Monomorphic mating pairs of birds

Solution -

According to the biological species concept, two or more organisms that look alike does not mean that they belong to the same species. In order to consider that two organisms belong to the same species, it is essential for them to be able to interbreed or mate.  

For example –  

Western meadowlarks and Eastern meadowlarks look identical to one another but they do not interbreed with each other and hence they belong to different species.

Hence, option C is correct
