Gilbert Gordon · Answer 1

DNA and RNA are nearly identical. however, there are 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.

Yandel Palmer · Answer 2

The sugar found in DNA contains one less oxygen molecule than the sugar found in RNA.
