Question

Can you think of any difference between DNA and DNase?

Answer 1

Part 1: Composition
DNA is a polymer of nucleotides. DNase is an enzyme, mainly a polymer of amino acids.

Part 2: Function
DNA carries genetic information that is transferred from one generation to the next. DNase degrades DNA by breaking phosphodiester bonds between nucleotides.
