Question

complete the table to compare dna and rna. dna rna found in the nucleus found in the cytoplasm helps carry out genetic instructions in the cell contains the genetic instructions for making all the proteins an organism needs

Explanation:

• DNA is mainly found in the nucleus (it can also be in mitochondria and chloroplasts in some cells but the main location is nucleus). RNA is found in both nucleus (as it is transcribed there) and cytoplasm (where it functions in protein synthesis).
• RNA helps carry out genetic instructions (e.g., mRNA carries the message from DNA to ribosomes for protein synthesis). DNA contains the genetic instructions for making all the proteins an organism needs as it is the repository of genetic information.
