Learn about the difference between DNA and RNA. Difference # Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA): 1. Except some viruses, RNA is non-genetic material taking part in protein synthesis. 2. RNA is found both in nucleus and cytoplasm. 3. Usually single-stranded, in some viruses double stranded, e.g., in Reo viruses. 4. Three types - mRNA, rRNA and tRNA. 5. Sugar is present in [...]
The following points highlight the top three types of non-Genetic ribonucleic acid (RNA). The types are: 1. Messenger RNA (MRNA) 2. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) 3. Transfer RNA (tRNA). Type # 1. Messenger RNA (MRNA): Monod and Jacob (1961) coined the term 'messenger RNA' to describe the template RNA that carries genetic information for protein synthesis from nuclear DNA to ribosomes [...]
Learn about the difference between Mitosis and Meiosis. Difference # Mitosis: 1. The cell divides only once. 2. Mitosis takes place in the somatic cells. 3. Mitosis occurs both in sexually as well as asexually reproducing organisms. 4. The DNA replicates once for one cell division. Prophase: 5. The duration of prophase is shorter. 6. Mitosis is comparatively simple and [...]
