The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between genetic RNA and non-genetic RNA.
Genetic RNA:
1. It acts as genetic material.
2. It is found in most of the plant viruses It is found in all the higher organisms some animal viruses and certain bacteriophages.
3. It has self-replication property.
4. It is found in the absence of DNA.
5. It is only of one type.
6. Its main function is regulation.
7. It may be either single or double.
Non-Genetic RNA:
1. It does not act as a genetic material.
2. It has self replication property, including plants, animals and bacteria.
3. It is always synthesized from DNA.
4. It is found in association with DNA
5. It is of three types, viz., messenger, ribosomal and transfer.
6. Its main function is protein synthesis of gene action.
7. It is always single stranded.
