Hairpin like structures are formed in both DNA and RNA but are common in RNA than in DNA. This is because DNA can be double stranded or single stranded while RNA is generally single stranded structure that can be double stranded only when it forms a hair pin like structure.
The features of hairpin structure in RNA are as follows:
1. This structure is a building block of many secondary structures of RNA.
2. The termination sequence during transcription also forms a hairpin loop like structure.
3. tRNA also forms a hairpin loop like structure and helps in the process of translation.
The main difference is that mitosis occurs in body cells and meiosis occurs in sex cells. Mitosis produces identical daughter cells and meiosis produces genetically different daughter cells.
Answer:
Heterotrophs/ or consumers
Explanation:
Heterotrophs, or consumers, are organisms that must obtain energy by consuming other organisms (autotrophs or other heterotrophs) as food.
