Back

The sugar in a nucleotide forms the backbone of the DNA strand and connects to the phosphate group and nitrogenous base.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil instead of thymine.

Front

What is replication in the context of DNA?
