Expert Solution
Step 1

DNA and RNA are nucleic acids present in the organisms. DNA is the deoxy ribose nucleic acid whereas the RNA is ribose nucleic acid. DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA and this m RNA undergoes translation into proteins.

 

DNA and RNA contains bases of two types purines and pyrimidines.

Purines are adenine and guanine

Pyrmidines are cytosine, thyamine and uracil

Adenine base pairs with thymine or uracil

Guanine base pairs with cytosine.

Thyamine is replaced with uracil during transcription of the DNA to RNA.
