Question

Most center around DNA and RNA and their role of serving as the genetic material. Write a short essay that contrasts these molecules, including a comparison of advantages conferred by their structure that each of them has over the other in serving in this role.

Accepted Answer

Hi everyone. Let's take a look at this practice problem together. Which of the following is not a distinction between D. N. A. And R. N. A. So which of the following is not true. We have a DNA contains deoxyribonucleic. Whereas RNA contains ribose sugar. Well the D. And D. N. A. Stands for deoxyribonucleic. And the R. And R. N. A. Stands for ribose. So this is a true statement and cannot be the right answer. Then we've got B. DNA contains the I mean whereas RNA contains uracil. This is also a true statement that I mean is more stable than euros IL and we need our D. N. A. To be pretty stable. And so that is why I mean is used in D. N. A. Rather than your. So next we have C. D. N. A. Is usually double stranded. Whereas RNA is single stranded. This is also true. So not the correct answer. Recall that D. N. A. Is transcribed into RNA. And when transcription occurs, the double strand or the helix structure of D. N. A. Has to open up in order for a transcription to happen. And then the single stranded RNA is produced. So our answer has to be D. D. N. A. Is negatively charged. Whereas RNA is positively charged. Now recall that the N. In both the D. N. A. And R. N. A. Stands for new clique acid and new click acids are negatively charged and that's due to the phosphate group that can be found in the backbone of the strands. So this is the incorrect statement and our answer. All right, everyone. I hope you found this helpful, and I'll see you soon for the next practice problem.
