- DNA is typically double-stranded, whereas RNA is single-stranded.
- DNA uses the base thymine, while RNA uses uracil instead of thymine.

**2. Similarities and Differences between Transcription and Replication:**

**Similarities:**

- Both processes involve the synthesis of nucleic acids.
- They utilize DNA as a template.

**Differences:**

- Transcription synthesizes RNA, while replication synthesizes DNA.
- Transcription involves a single strand being copied, whereas replication involves the copying of both DNA strands.

**3. RNA Strand Formation:**

Given a DNA strand: 5' TAC ACG GTC TAA 3'

The corresponding RNA strand is: 3' AUG UGC CAG AUU 5'

**4. Identify as DNA or Protein:**

- **Enhancer** - DNA

- **RNA polymerase** - Protein

Expert Solution

Step 1

1) DNA and RNA

DNA	RNA
It is the hereditary and genetic material of cells	It is involved in protein synthesis
DNA is double stranded nucleic acid	RNA is single stranded nucleic acid
It contains deoxy ribose sugar	It contains ribose sugar
It is present in the nucleus of cells	It is present in both nucleus and cytoplasm
DNA is more stable	RNA is less stable
It contains thymine as a Nitrogenous base	It contains uracil instead of thymine as Nitrogenous base.
