  1. EQ. How are DNA and RNA alike and different? What does an answer that meets the standard look like?

  2. How are DNA and RNA alike and different? • They are both inside a cell and they’re made out of the same stuff. • They make things duplicate and multiply. • One’s got two strands and the other one’s got one strand. • IDK .5 .5 .5 0

  3. How are DNA and RNA alike and different? • DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are both nucleic acids and polymers. They are both found in a cell (DNA in nucleus, RNA in nucleus, ribosomes, cytoplasm, etc.). Their molecular structure is similar (phosphate, sugar, base) • DNA is composed of ACGT (Thymine); RNA is made up of ACGU (Uracil). DNA is double stranded (double helix), RNA is single strand. The sugar in DNA is deoxyribose; sugar in RNA is ribose. 3

  4. How are DNA and RNA alike and different? • Both DNA and RNA are sugars that are linked to a nitrogen compound at one end and a phosphorus group at the other. RNA and DNA are both nucleic acids. Like DNA, RNA can carry genetic information. Chargaff’s rule DNA: A=T & C=G; RNA: A=U & C=G • RNA and DNA differ in three main ways. First, unlike DNA which is double-stranded, RNA is a single-stranded molecule in most of its biological roles and has a much shorter chain of nucleotides. Second, while DNA contains deoxyribose, RNA contains ribose. Third, the complementary base to adenine is not thymine, as it is in DNA, but rather uracil. • Both DNA and RNA are located in the cell but in different places. DNA is responsible for storing the genetic information and is found in the nucleus of the cell. RNA is found in other parts of the cell (e.g., cytoplasm, ribosomes, mitochondria) and is responsible for taking information present on DNA and turning it into something functional, by coding for various proteins through the process of transcription.For example, a strand of DNA may dictate an individual has blue-eyed genes. This information is taken from the DNA by the RNA, which is responsible for creating the blue pigment proteins necessary to express these genes. 4
