  • DNA & RNA Nucleotides: A Comprehensive Guide to Building Blocks
    Here are the 5 nucleotides that make up DNA and RNA, along with their differences:

    DNA:

    * Adenine (A)

    * Guanine (G)

    * Cytosine (C)

    * Thymine (T)

    RNA:

    * Adenine (A)

    * Guanine (G)

    * Cytosine (C)

    * Uracil (U)

    Key Differences:

    * Thymine (T) vs. Uracil (U): DNA uses thymine, while RNA uses uracil. This is the main difference between the two nucleic acids.

    * Sugar: DNA contains deoxyribose sugar, while RNA contains ribose sugar.

    * Structure: DNA is double-stranded, forming a helix. RNA is typically single-stranded.

    Let me know if you'd like a more in-depth explanation of any of these!
