Expert Solution
Step 1

The main difference between genomic DNA and cDNA is 

cDNA:

  1. cDNA is synthetic dna base pairs are complementary to genomic DNA.
  2. cDNA represents transcriptome.
  3. cDNA is prepared from reverse transcription of RNA
  4. cDNA consists of exons also called as coding regions they lack introns.
  5. cDNA contains few base pairs
  6. cDNA is used to produce cDNA libraries.
  7. Reverse transcriptase enzyme plays an major key role in construction of cDNA 
  8. They represent the DNA of  eukaryotes only.
