Differences between RNA and DNA are:

- DNA structure is a paired double helix, while RNA is a single chain molecule.

- DNA is formed by a deoxyribose while RNA is formed by a ribose sugar.

- Both are formed by four nucleotides, Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thyimine in DNA that is replaced by Uracil in RNA.

- DNA is a more stable molecule while RNA durability is short.
