Describe one similarity and one diffence between DNA and RNA

Biology
1 answer:
AveGali [126]3 years ago
4 0

Nucleic acids are the biolmolecules which are responsible for carrying information from one generation of organisms to the other. There are two types of nucleic acid namely the deoxyribo nucleic acid (DNA) and the ribo nucleic acid (RNA).

The similarity between the DNA and RNA is that both act as the genetic material carrying genetic information in them. Both are made up of polynucleotide chain with the repeating units called the nucleotides containing a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar and phosphate. The difference lies in the type of the sugar and nitrogenous bases present. In RNA, the sugar is a ribose. In DNA, the sugar is a deoxy ribose derived from a ribose sugar by the loss of an oxygen atom. The nitrogenous bases of DNA are the adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine. Whereas, the nitrogenous bases of RNA are the adenine, guanine, cytosine and uracil. Also, DNA is a double stranded molecule with two polynucleotide chains, whereas RNA is single stranded.

What kind of model is a globe and what are its limits
tester [92]

A model of a globe is a physical model. The limits are that the solar system is too big to be seen all at once. From the Tennessee science textbook, "Many years ago, scientists thought that Earth was the center of the universe and the sky was a blanket that covered the planet. Later through the observation, it was discovered that the objects you see in the sky are the sun, the moon ,stars, and other planets. This new model explained the solar system differently.

Mark is studying jellyfish in a small body of water. Mollusks are a primary food source for jellyfish, and a large number of mol
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Carrying capacity for the jellyfish would reduce

Explanation:

Carrying capacity of a biological population in an ecosystem is the maximum number of population size the environment or habitat can conveniently cater for given the available resources such as, food, water supply, space etc.

The survival of the jelly fish largely in the small body of water would be largely dependent on how much food that is available.

The large number of mollusks harvested would reduce the available food in the small body of water, hence, reducing the carrying capacity for jellyfish.
