Difference Between DNA & RNA
Difference between DNA & RNA We all know that DNA carries hereditary characters from parents to their offspring. Right! While there is another biological component which is called RNA. This RNA not only plays a role in carrying hereditary character from parents to their offspring but also in the protein synthesis. Now the question is what is the difference between DNA and RNA? Here I have discussed five main differences between DNA and RNA. They are as following – § Structural difference § Stability § Thymine and Uracil presence § Mutation § Protein synthesis Difference between DNA & RNA DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid whereas RNA stands for ribonucleic acid . DNA is a double-stranded structure whereas RNA is generally single stranded structure. So the picture given below shows the structure of DNA . If we go deeper inside we will observe a long polynucleotide chain. If we s...
