RNA vs DNA
Here are the ribonucleotides (left column) found in RNA and the
deoxyribonucleotides (right column) found in DNA. How do these two nucleotides
differ?
The building blocks of RNA and DNA. Each nucleotide building block contains
a phosphate group, a sugar, and a nitrogenous base, which can be either a purine
or a pyrimidine.
The purines in both groups are the same, but one type of DNA nucleotide
contains thymine, whereas its RNA counterpart contains uracil. The only other
difference
between the two is the presence of one more oxygen on the sugar (ribose)
component of the RNA. The biological roles of the two are profoundly different.
You must be able to distinguish between DNA nucleotides and RNA nucleotides.
