What is the complementary DNA strand for TACGGA?

(a)  

What are two differences between DNA and RNA?

• DNA contains thymine; RNA contains uracil.

• DNA is found in the nucleus; RNA is found in the cytoplasm.
• DNA is single-stranded; RNA is double-stranded.
• DNA is involved in protein synthesis; RNA is not involved.
• DNA is double-stranded; RNA is single-stranded.
