Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA and RNA are both part of Nucleic acids. The monomer of it is nucleotides, and its function, is that it stores genetic information. They have similarities and differences.

Some similarities are....

They are both biomolecules, both are nucleic acids, they are both involved in the making of proteins, both contain genetic information.

Some differences are...

DNA = Double-stranded

RNA = Singer-stranded

DNA = The sugar moiety is deoxy ribose

RNA = Ribose is the main sugar

DNA = Thymine is always there, but uracil is never found

RNA = Pyrimidine components differ. Thymine is never found

DNA = It follows Chargaffs rule (since it's double stranded)

RNA = Doesn't follow Chargaffs rule (since it's single stranded)

I answered a question similar to this, so I know what to put.

Hope this helped!
