Answer to Question #214506 in Molecular Biology for Moe

Question

2.3) Tabulate four differences between DNA replication and RNA transcription.

Answer 1

DNA is a double-stranded molecule, while RNA is a single-stranded molecule.DNA and RNA base pairing is slightly different since DNA uses the bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine; RNA uses adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine. Uracil differs from thymine in that it lacks a methyl group on its ring.
