Difference between DNA and RNA

DNA and RNA by OnlineBiotechNotes

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)	RNA (Ribonucleic Acid)
DNA is found in nucleus. DNA Stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid Deoxyribose is the sugar where the bases are A, T, C and G. A long polymer A pairs with T and G pairs with C [(A-T) & (G-C)] DNA is Double-stranded and it exhibits a double-helix structure DNA Prefers B-form DNA is easily damage to UV light. DNA Carries the genetic information necessary for the development, functioning, and reproduction DNA consists of two strands, arranged in a double helix. These strands are made up of subunits called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate, a 5-carbon sugar molecule and a nitrogenous base.	RNA is found in the cytoplasm RNA Stands for Ribonucleic acid Ribose is the sugar where the bases are A, U, C and G. Shorter than DNA A pairs with U and G pairs with C [(A-U) & (G-C) ] RNA is Single-stranded, sometimes it forms secondary and tertiary structures RNA Prefers A-form RNA is not easily damage by UV Light. RNA is mainly involved in protein synthesis, sometimes it regulates the gene expression RNA has only one strand, but like DNA, is made up of nucleotides. RNA strands are shorter than DNA strands. RNA sometimes forms a secondary double helix structure, but only intermittently.
