Answer:

  • Function: DNA includes instructions on how to create the protein and RNA assists in the actual production/synthesis or protein
  • Structure: DNA has a double helix while RNA is single-stranded
  • Nitrogenous bases: C and G bases always pair with one another. In DNA, Adenine pairs with Thymine. In RNA, Adenine pairs with Uracil
  • Sugar: DNA has deoxyribose sugar and RNA has ribose sugar
  • Strand count: DNA has 2, RNA has 1
