Comparison of DNA and RNA
Comparison
DNA
RNA
Name
DeoxyriboNucleic Acid
RiboNucleic Acid
Function
Long-term storage of genetic
information; transmission of
genetic information to make
other cells and new
organisms
...
RNA is used to transmit
genetic information in some
organisms and may have been
the molecule used to store
genetic blueprints in primitive
organisms
...
DNA is a
double-stranded molecule
consisting of a long chain of
nucleotides
...
RNA usually is a
single-strand helix consisting
of shorter chains of
nucleotides
...
RNA is synthesized from DNA
on an as-needed basis
...
The small
grooves in the helix also serve
as protection, providing
minimal space for enzymes to
attach
...
RNA is not stable under
alkaline conditions, plus the
large grooves in the molecule
make it susceptible to enzyme
attack
...
Ultraviolet
Damage
