Write the important structural and functional differences between DNA and RNA.

Answer»

The structure differences between DNA and RNA are as follows:

DNARNA
1. The sugar moiety in DNA molecules is β-D- deoxyribose.1. The sugar moiety in RNA molecules is β-D- ribose.
2. DNA consists of Thymine(T), it does not contain uracil (U)2. RNA consists of uracil (U), it does not contain Thymine(T).
3. The helical structure of DNA is double-stranded.3. The helical structure of RNA is single-stranded.

The functional difference between DNA and RNA are as follows:

DNARNA
1. DNA is the chemical basis of heredity.1. RNA is not responsible for heredity.
2. DNA molecules do not synthesized proteins, but not transfer coded messages for the synthesis of proteins.2. proteins are synthesized by RNA molecules in the cells.
