Question

RNA primase synthesizes RNA primer that attaches itself at the initiation point of replication. RNA primer constructed during DNA replication needs to be replaced because RNA differs from DNA. It contains instead of what

Answer 1

Hi there,

It contains Uracil instead of thymine. Hope it helps :-)

Answer 2

Answer;

RNA contains uracil (U) instead of Thymine (T)

Explanation;

• Nucleic acids are among the four major biomolecules in nature others being lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins.
• Nucleic acids are classified into two; Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and Ribonucleic acid (RNA).

The two nucleic acids have got similarities and also differ structurally in a number of ways.

• They are both made up of nucleotides which are the building blocks.
• DNA is double stranded while RNA is single stranded.
• RNA contains a nucleotide uracil (U) in place of Thymine (T) in the DNA.
• DNA is only found in the nucleus while RNA is found in the cytoplasm and also in the ribosomes where proteins are synthesized.
