|
Answer» \tDefinitionDNA is a long polymer with a phosphate and deoxyribose backbone. It has four different bases: cytosine, thymine, adenine, and guanine.RNA is a polymer with a phosphate and\xa0ribose backbone with four different bases: cytosine, uracil, adenine, and guanine.LocationDNA is found in the nucleus of a cell and in mitochondria.RNA is found in nucleus, cytoplasm, and in the ribosome.Sugar portion2-deoxyriboseRiboseFunctionTransmission of the genetic information and medium of long-term storageTransmission of the genetic code required for the creation of proteins from the nucleus to the ribosome.Predominant StructureA double-stranded molecule and has a long chain of nucleotides.A single-stranded molecule and has a shorter chain of nucleotides.PropagationDNA is self-replicating.Synthesized from DNA when needed.\t DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid and RNA is ribonucleic acid DNA has doubled stranded while RNA is single stranded |
