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.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Analogous structures are structures which serve similar function in different organisms and evolved independently in two living organisms while homologous structures are the structures which are similar in related orgnanism due to inheritance.

The wings of Pterodactyl, bats and birds are conisdered as analogous structure. they are similar in structure and same in function and evolved independently in the two groups of animals.

Bones in forelimbs of pterodactyl, bats and birds are considered homologous structures as they inherited the pattern from a common ancestor and have different functions.
