Document Summary
Rna can be found in nucleus and cytoplasm. Rna is made in the nucleus and can leave to the cytoplasm when replicated dna only found in nucleus. Like dna, rna has a sugar phosphate backbone. However, rna uses the sugar ri dna and rna uses the same nitrogenous bases except that dna uses the nucleotide base thyme. Phosphate located on carbon 5, hydroxyl located on carbon 3. Dna rearranges itself much music notes are arranged on a bar in infinite number of ways. This is how we are all different and we look different, because our genes (strands of dna are arranged in a infinite amount of ways) Rna is translated to polypeptide"s (protein) rna has one extra hydroxy=ribose. Dna has 1 hydroxyl= deoxyribose (less hydroxl) h use the same base which is a and c. and g. Dna and rna bot dna = double stranded. Rna= single stranded (uses uracil instead of thymine)
