Answer:

DNA and RNA share many characteristics. They are both composed of nucleotide monomers and are read in the 5'-to-3' direction. They also share the same complementary base pairs, except RNA uses uracil in place of thymine; both contain adenine.DNA and RNA base pairing is slightly different since DNA uses the bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine; RNA uses adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine.Uracil differs from thymine in that it lacks a methyl group on its ring.DNA and RNA perform different functions in humans. DNA is responsible for storing and transferring genetic information while RNA directly codes for amino acids and as acts as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes to make proteins.DNA is stable under alkaline conditions while RNA is not stable.

tatiyna

The circulatory system helps the excretory and digestive system do their jobs because the waste from the blood in the circulatory system is eliminated from the body through the excretory system, and the nutrients absorbed by the digestive system are transported through the blood.
