Answer:

DNA has a double- helix structure which means it has two strands. The DNA strands are made from sugar (Deoxyribonucleic), phosphates and nitrogenous bases. There are 4 nitrogenous bases, 2 purine and 2 pyrimidine. The 2 purine bases are Adenine and Guanine. The pyrimidine bases are Thymine and Cytosine. DNA gives our genes.

RNA is a single strand unlike DNA. The strands are made from sugar (ribonucleic), phosphate and the nitrogenous bases. There are 4 nitrogenous bases 2 purine and 2 pyrimidine. The 2 purine bases are Adenine and Guanine. However, the 2 pyrimidine bases are Uracil and Cytosine. The function of RNA is to contribute to releasing proteins based on our rRNA and tRNA and mRNA. This process is known as RNA and transcription.

Dodder is a parasitic plant, which has roots for support and absorption of nutrients from the host plant. what kind of roots are
devlian [24]
Dodder is a parasitic plant which has A. HAUSTORIAL ROOTS for support and absoption of nutrients from the host plant.

Dodder can not live alone. It grows from a seed and sprout from the ground but if it does not find a host within 10 days, it will die.

When the Dodder finds its host, it twines itself in a counter-clockwise direction around the stem of its host. The Dodder stem has bumps called "haustoria". These bumps are tightly pressed against the stem of the host plant and said bumps will eventually push their way inside the hosts' stem to pull the nutrients it needs to survive to the detriment of the host plant.

Dodder plant may be parasitic but it does not kill its own host instead it causes the growth of the host to be stunted.
