DNA composition vs RNA

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are both nucleic acids involved in the genetic coding and expression of living organisms, but they differ significantly in their composition and function. The backbone of DNA consists of a deoxyribose sugar and phosphate groups, whereas RNA’s backbone is made of ribose sugar, which contains an extra hydroxyl (OH) group compared to deoxyribose. This difference makes RNA more chemically reactive and less stable than DNA. DNA utilizes the bases adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G) for its genetic code, whereas RNA uses adenine (A), uracil (U) instead of thymine, cytosine (C), and guanine (G). Additionally, DNA is typically double-stranded, forming a double helix structure, while RNA is usually single-stranded and can form various structures, including hairpin loops. These structural and compositional differences allow DNA to serve as a stable long-term storage of genetic information, while RNA plays roles in translating this information into proteins and performing various regulatory functions within the cell. Problem: DNA differs in composition from RNA in having deoxyribose and uracil rather than ribose and thymine. A) True B) False
