Shortcut Methods
DNA vs. RNA:
Sugar: DNA has deoxyribose; RNA has ribose.
Strands: DNA is double-stranded; RNA is usually single-stranded.
Bases: DNA uses Thymine (T); RNA uses Uracil (U) instead of T.
Function: DNA stores genetic info; RNA is involved in protein synthesis and various other cellular roles.
Location: DNA is primarily in the nucleus; RNA is found throughout the cell.
Stability: DNA is more stable; RNA is less stable due to 2’-OH group.
