The APsolute Recap: Biology Edition - DNA vs. RNA

The APsolute RecAP: Biology Edition

It’s the battle of the nucleic acids in Episode 32! DNA may have all the information, but RNA does all the work. DNA and RNA are made of nucleotide monomers (1:05). DNA and RNA nucleotides differ in their pentose sugar (1:55) and pyrimidine base ( 3:00). DNA forms an antiparallel double helix (3:50) compared to the single strand RNA (5:05), forming mRNA, rRNA and tRNA.

The Question of the Day asks (6:44) “Nucleic acids are one of two biological molecules that contain the element nitrogen. What is the other?”
