Differences between DNA and RNA
DNA | RNA |
· Double stranded structure.
· Found only in the nucleus. · The sugar molecule is deoxyribose. · Contains a pyrimidine base thymine · Giant molecules with very high molecular weight · Has hydrogen bonds in its structure |
· Single stranded structure
· Found in both nucleus and cytoplasm · Found both sugar molecular is ribose · Contains a pyrimidine base uracil · Short, small with low molecular weight · Has no hydrogen bonds in its structure |
