What do dna and rna have in common?

Dna and rna are made up of monomers called nucleotides.
- dna and rna both contain pentose sugars.
- dna and rna both have 3 nitrogenous bases: adenine, cytosine and guanine.
- dna and rna both have a phosphate groups in their nucleotides.   sometimes called phosphoric acid.
- they both have the base pair of guanine and cytosine.
- they are both necessary for the cell to produce proteins.
- dna makes mrna which then is translated into protein.
