What are three differences between rna and dna?

1. RNA has a ribose sugar instead of a deoxyribose sugar like DNA.

2. RNA is a single-stranded nucleic acid.

3. RNA nucleotides have a uracil base instead of thymine.

Structurally, DNA and RNA are nearly identical. As mentioned earlier, however, there are three fundamental differences that account for the very different functions of the two molecules. RNA has a ribose sugar instead of a deoxyribose sugar like DNA. RNA nucleotides have a uracil base instead of thymine.
