435088
Image of the components of DNA and RNA, including the sugar (deoxyribose or ribose), phosphate group, and nitrogenous base. Bases include the pyrimidine bases (cytosine, thymine in DNA, and uracil in RNA, one ring) and the purine bases (adenine and guanine, two rings).

Also the sugar in DNA is deoxyribose whereas in RNA it is ribose. Finally, both DNA and RNA have the bases adenine, guanine and cytosine. However DNA also contains thymine which is replaced by uracil in RNA.

Which of these is a difference between a DNA and an RNA molecule? - DNA is a polymer composed of nucleotides, whereas RNA is a polymer composed of nucleic acids. - DNA contains uracil, whereas RNA contains thymine. - DNA is usually double-stranded, whereas RNA is usually single-stranded.

The structure of DNA and RNA. DNA is a double helix, while RNA is a single helix. Both have sets of nucleotides that contain genetic information. ( Image credit: udaix Shutterstock) Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is a molecule that contains the instructions an organism needs to develop, live and reproduce.

Roles of DNA and RNA in cells Nucleic acids, macromolecules made out of units called nucleotides, come in two naturally occurring varieties: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

​Nucleotide RNA and DNA are polymers made of long chains of nucleotides. A nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule (either ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA) attached to a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base. The bases used in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T).

Summary of Differences Between DNA and RNA DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA contains the sugar ribose. ... DNA is a double-stranded molecule, while RNA is a single-stranded molecule. DNA is stable under alkaline conditions, while RNA is not stable. DNA and RNA perform different functions in humans.
599211
DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides that are linked to one another in a chain by chemical bonds, called ester bonds, between the sugar base of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of the adjacent nucleotide.
876730
Like DNA, RNA polymers are make up of chains of nucleotides *. These nucleotides have three parts: 1) a five carbon ribose sugar, 2) a phosphate molecule and 3) one of four nitrogenous bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine or uracil.
890780
DNA uses thymine and deoxyribose sugar, while RNA uses uracil and ribose sugar. While DNA is usually molded into a double-stranded helix, RNA is usually single-stranded, which allows for the binding of anticodons during translation.
1227150
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are polymers composed of monomers called nucleotides. An RNA nucleotide consists of a five-carbon sugar phosphate linked to one of four nucleic acid bases: guanine (G), cytosine (C), adenine (A) and uracil (U).

['DNA and RNA are polymers (in the case of DNA, often very long polymers), and are made up of monomers known as nucleotides. ... ', 'Each nucleotide in DNA contains one of four possible nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), guanine (G) cytosine (C), and thymine (T).']
224676
Both DNA and RNA have four nitrogenous bases each—three of which they share (Cytosine, Adenine, and Guanine) and one that differs between the two (RNA has Uracil while DNA has Thymine). ... Secondly, DNA is double-stranded while RNA is single stranded. Thirdly, DNA is more structurally stable compared to RNA.

Nucleic acids are the biopolymers, or large biomolecules, essential to all known forms of life. The term nucleic acid is the overall name for DNA and RNA. They are composed of nucleotides, which are the monomers made of three components: a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base.
1086705
Nucleotides contain three parts in their structure; one phosphate, nitrogen containing base (purines and pyrimidines) and a 5-carbon sugar. DNA contains deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen base in its structure, whereas RNA contains ribose sugar in place of deoxyribose sugar.
1068226
Both deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are composed of nucleotides. ... DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA contains the sugar ribose. DNA contains the nitrogenous base thymine, while RNA contains the nitrogenous base uracil. The diagram below shows the structure of a DNA nucleotide.
