Answer:
- ❣DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA contains the sugar ribose. The only difference between ribose and deoxyribose is that ribose has one more -OH group than deoxyribose, which has -H attached to the second (2') carbon in the ring.
- ❣DNA is a double-stranded molecule, while RNA is a single-stranded molecule.
- ❣DNA is stable under alkaline conditions, while RNA is not stable.
- ❣DNA and RNA perform different functions in humans. DNA is responsible for storing and transferring genetic information, while RNA directly codes for amino acids and acts as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes to make proteins.
- ❣DNA and RNA base pairing is slightly different since DNA uses the bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine; RNA uses adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine. Uracil differs from thymine in that it lacks a methyl group on its ring.

Explanation:
1) RNA contains sugar ribose while DNA contains slightly different sugar deoxyribons .
2) RNA has the nucleobase uracil while DNA contains thymine.
