DNA vs. RNADNA vs. RNA
How does RNA differ from DNA?How does RNA differ from DNA?(1) the sugar in RNA is ribose (1) the sugar in RNA is ribose
instead of deoxyribose instead of deoxyribose (2) RNA is generally single-(2) RNA is generally single-
stranded and not double-stranded and not double-strandedstranded
(3) RNA contains uracil in place of (3) RNA contains uracil in place of thyminethymine
