Question

.What are the structural and functional differences between DNA and RNA?

Answer 1

Structure:

DNA is a double helix (like a twisted ladder) while RNA is a single helix (like if you cut the twisted ladder in half along the rungs)

Functions:

In humans and most other organisms, DNA stores and transfers genetic information (sort of like a genetic bank). On the other hand, RNA is the one that codes for amino acids and is also the messenger between ribosomes and DNA to make proteins.

Answer 2

DNA is a long polymer with deoxyriboses and phosphate backbone. Having four different nitrogenous bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. RNA is a polymer with a ribose and phosphate backbone. Four different nitrogenous bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.
