Name the three parts of a sugar, phosphate group, nitrogenous base
nucleic acid nucleotide
, What are the particular DNA- Deoxyribose, phosphate group: adenine,
types of each of these that guanine, cytosine, and thymine
are found in DNA, and what RNA- Ribose, phosphate group: adenine, guanine,
are the corresponding cytosine, and uracil
types that are found in
RNA?
DNA contains deoxyribose - RNA contains Ribose
DNA: Thymine
What are the four major RNA: Uracil
differences between DNA DNA: double stranded helix
and RNA? RNA: Single strand
DNA: stores genetic information
RNA: carries out protein synthesis
DNA is often described as The uprights are the sugar phosphate backbone, and
a coiled ladder. In this the rungs are the bases.
