State two differences between DNA and RNA.

we did not study this at all, so far I see that DNA has several million nucleotides, the smaller RNA only has several thousand of them. the second thing I noticed is that they both have a base,a five carbon sugar and a phosphate group DNA has adenine and guanine and two pyrimidines, cytosine, and thymine. RNA contains the same bases except thymine is replaced by uracil. Do you think that would be what they are asking for or is there differences in the acids also? thanks

are both double stranded?

no they have them listed under teriarity bands of peptides they state that they are side chains that are nonpolar that they piush away from an aqueos enviroment for hydropobic, like push away. the hydophilic has polar side chains that pull toward the aquous enviroment, but she is asking for examples. thanks.

sorry wrong question

Yes, you are correct in your understanding of the differences between DNA and RNA. The two differences you pointed out are indeed correct:

1. Structure:
- DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) has a double-stranded helical structure, meaning it consists of two strands that are complementary to each other and are held together by hydrogen bonds. This double-stranded structure gives DNA stability.
- RNA (ribonucleic acid), on the other hand, is typically single-stranded. However, it can fold upon itself and form secondary structures.

2. Base Composition:
- DNA is made up of four nucleotide bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T).
- RNA also consists of adenine (A), guanine (G), and cytosine (C), but instead of thymine (T), it contains uracil (U) as the fourth base.

These differences in structure and base composition contribute to the distinct roles of DNA and RNA in the cell. DNA is responsible for storing genetic information, while RNA is involved in various biological processes such as protein synthesis and gene regulation.
