  • How does RNA differ from DNA?
    RNA differs from DNA by having ribose sugar, uracil instead of thymine, and being single-stranded.
  • Which RNA base bonds with adenine?
    Uracil bonds with adenine in RNA.
  • What base is found in RNA but not in DNA?
    Uracil is found in RNA but not in DNA.
  • Which RNA nucleotide is complementary to adenine?
    Uracil is complementary to adenine in RNA.
  • RNA differs from DNA in that RNA has what?
    RNA has ribose sugar and uracil instead of thymine.
  • RNA differs from DNA in that RNA is usually what?
    RNA is usually single-stranded.
  • What is the sugar in a nucleotide of RNA?
    The sugar in a nucleotide of RNA is ribose.
  • How is RNA different from DNA?
    RNA is different from DNA because it contains ribose sugar, uracil, and is single-stranded.
  • What are the three main differences between DNA and RNA?
    The three main differences are: RNA has ribose sugar, uracil instead of thymine, and is single-stranded; DNA has deoxyribose, thymine, and is double-stranded.
  • Unlike DNA, RNA contains what?
    Unlike DNA, RNA contains uracil.
  • What are the four nitrogen bases found in RNA?
    The four nitrogen bases in RNA are adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine.

  • Which nucleotide is found only in RNA molecules?
    Uracil is found only in RNA molecules.
  • Is DNA more stable than RNA?
    Yes, DNA is more stable than RNA due to the absence of the hydroxyl group in its sugar.
