Cells contain both DNA and RNA. What difference between the structures of these nucleic acids (that means the polymers) do you think allows the DNA to be collected without also collecting RNA? ORNA is much smaller than DNA. It can't form the long mesh of fibers needed for it to be collected. O RNA is single-stranded, the stick collects the DNA by fitting between its two strands. RNA is single-stranded, so its exposed charges make it stick to too many other things. O The RNA is too large; it got stuck in the filter and was not in the liquid with the DNA
