The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between DNA and RNA. Difference # DNA: 1. DNA is originated from RNA. 2. DNA is the genetic material of almost all living organisms. 3. Except a few (e.g. Φ * 174), most of DNA viruses is double stranded. 4. Pentose Sugar is deoxyribose. 5. The bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine [...]
The mRNAs found in prokaryotes differ from that of eukaryotes in the following ways: (i) The prokaryotic mRNAs are broken down by the ribonuclease into ribonucleotide, hence these are very short lived e.g. 2 minutes in E.coli. The short lived nature is due to changes in environmental conditions. In contrast the eukaryotic mRNAs have longer life i.e. they are metabolically [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between Pili and Fimbriae. Difference # Pili: 1. They occur only in Gram negative bacteria. 2. The number is 1 -4 per cell. 3. Pili are longer and broader. 4. They help in conjugation. 5. Formation of pili is controlled by F+ or fertility factor. 6. They are tubular structures. Difference [...]
