DNA and mRNA both play very important roles in our bodies but differ in some ways. DNA is double stranded and appears as a double helix shape, mRNA is only single stranded and appears as a single spiral. DNA is made up of deoxyribose sugar while mRNA is made up of ribose sugar. mRNA uses…
Explain the structure of DNA: Deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA) is a macromolecule(nucleic acid) that are made up of monomers known as nucleotides. Each nucleotide is composed of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base. Each strand is composed of alternating molecules of deoxyribose and phosphate with nitrogen base attaching to each deoxyribose unit. There…
