Answer 2

The structural difference between the RNA and DNA are:

• The sugar in the DNA is of the Beta – D – 2 – deoxyribose whereas for the RNA will be the Beta – D – Ribose

The functional difference between the RNA and DNA are;

• DNA will be the heredity basis of the chemical whereas RNA is the not the one responsible for any heredity.
