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 [...]
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 [...]
Learn about the difference between Nuclear Traits and Extra-Nuclear Traits. 1. Reciprocal Differences: Differences in the results of reciprocal crosses would suggest a deviation from the pattern of Mendelian autosomal gene transmission. According to Mendelian inheritance, the chromosome complement in male and female gametes obtained from the same species would be similar; reciprocal crosses should give same results (♀A x♂ [...]
