Histrionicus

DNA and RNA are both nucleic acids made up of nucleotides, the one that is NOT a difference between DNA and RNA - D) RNA contains adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.

DNA has major structural differences from RNA:

  • DNA is a double helix whereas RNA is only a single strand
  • DNA's sugar is deoxyribose while RNA's sugar is ribose
  • DNA has the bases adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine whereas RNA has the bases adenine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil.
  • The backbone of nucleic acids is made of sugar and phosphate.

Thus, DNA and RNA are both nucleic acids made up of nucleotides, the one that is NOT a difference between DNA and RNA - D) RNA contains adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.
