Diferenças entre o DNA e RNA | 6 Principais diferenças | Video Animado
New Section
The differences between DNA and RNA, their structures, and functions are discussed.
DNA vs. RNA
- DNA stores genetic information for organism development, while RNA expresses genetic information to produce proteins.
- DNA has two strands, while RNA has one.
- DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, and RNA stands for ribonucleic acid.
- Bases in DNA are cytosine, guanine, thymine, and adenine; RNA bases include cytosine, guanine, uracil, and adenine.
- DNA is used in replication to produce more DNA; RNA is involved in transcription.

Further details on the composition and functions of DNA and RNA are provided.
Composition of DNA and RNA
- DNA consists of deoxyribonucleic acid with bases cytosine, guanine, thymine, and adenine.
- RNA comprises ribonucleic acid with bases cytosine, guanine, uracil (replacing thymine), and adenine.
