Differences between RNA and DNA

What is the common function of RNA and DNA

protein synthesis

What are nucleotides made up of

sugar , base and phospate group

What are the bases DNA and RNA have in common?

Both have the Adenine, cytosine guanine

Three of their bases are the same. Which one is different

DNA has ADENINE-THYAMINE RNA has ADENINE-URICIL

What is the difference in in the sugars?

DNA has Dexoribose sugar RNA has ribose sugar

What is the difference in the strands?

DNA is Double stranded RNA is Single Stranded

What is the difference in the shapes?

DNA is a double helix RNA is a single helix

Where are they found

DNA is found in the nucleus only. RNA is found everywhere in the cell

What is the difference in what they do?

DNA stores and transmits genetic information. RNA acts as a template for making proteins.
