Is RNA a larger molecule than DNA?

Answer 1

In which organism? Which piece of RNA? Which genome? Some pieces of DNA are only 19 base pairs long and some bacteriophage heads can pack over 40Kb of RNA

Answer 2

DNA has two nucleotide strands running anti parallel DNA has A-T, G-C nitrogen base bonds DNA is the molecule that codes for the genetic information RNA is single a single stranded nucleotide RNA has A-U, G-C nitrogen base bonds (uracil instead of thymine) RNA strands are required for protein synthesis, they do not code for genetic information and they are formed as template strands of DNA

Answer 3

Unlike DNA, RNA is almost always a single-stranded molecule and has a much shorter chain of nucleotides.

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a nucleic acid polymer consisting of nucleotide monomers. RNA nucleotides contain ribose rings and uracil unlike deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which contains deoxyribose and thymine. It is transcribed (synthesized) from DNA by enzymes called RNA polymerases and further processed by other enzymes. RNA serves as the template for translation of genes into proteins, transferring amino acids to the ribosome to form proteins, and also translating the transcript into proteins.

Answer 4

Unlike DNA, RNA is almost always a single-stranded molecule and has a much shorter chain of nucleotides. RNA is single stranded where as DNA is a double helix structure. however, the size of DNA in a cell is very large but it is present in a very smaller structure than itself, NUCLEUS. Its juss bcoz of its supercoiling :) otherwise DNA is even bigger than the nucleus. lol
I hope i've answered properly.

Answer 5

RNA is much shorter. its main function is to copy SECTIONS of DNA. plus RNA is a single helix and dna is a double

Answer 6

No, RNA is a singe helix and DNA is a double helix.

Answer 7

Nope, it's much shorter

Answer 8

No it is a shorter strand.
