| 3 differences between DNA and RNA[image]http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Difference_DNA_RNA-EN.svg |
|
Definition
| 3 differences between DNA and RNA - DNA stores long-term transmitted genetic information. RNA tranfer codes and makes protein from the nucleus to the ribosomes. One difference between DNA and RNA is DNA contain deoxyribo sugar nd RNA contain Ribose sugar. DNA stands for DeoxyriboNucleicAcid and RNA stands for RiboNucleicAcid. |
