DNA

DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. The sugar portion of DNA is 2-Deoxyribose.

DNA is a double-stranded molecule consisting of a long chain of nucleotides.

DNA is self-replicating.

DNA is found in the nucleus of a cell and in mitochondria.

RNA

RNA stands for Ribonucleic Acid.  The sugar portion of RNA is Ribose.

RNA usually is a single-strand helix consisting of shorter chains of nucleotides.

RNA is synthesized from DNA on an as-needed basis

Depending on the type of RNA, this molecule is found in a cell’s nucleus, its cytoplasm, and its ribosome.
