Difference between RNA and DNA

 \underline \red{ \sf \: Ribonucleic \: acid \: (RNA) }

➺ Is a polymer with a ribose and phosphate backbone with four varying bases: uracil, cytosine, adenine and guanine.

➺ It is found in the cytoplasm, nucleus and in the ribosome. It has Ribose.

➺ The RNA is a single-stranded molecule which has a shorter chain of nucleotides.

 \underline \red{ \sf \: Deoxyribonucleic \: acid \: (DNA) }

➺ It is a long polymer. It has a deoxyribose and phosphate backbone having four distinct bases: thymine, adenine, cytosine and guanine.

➺It is located in the nucleus of a cell and in the mitochondria. It has 2-deoxyribose.

➺The DNA is a double-stranded molecule having long chain of nucleotide. DNA replicates on its own, it is self-replicating.
