Answer: DNA is made up of a double strand, and RNA is made up of a single strand.

The structure of DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is made up of double strand, which has two nucleotide strands that consist of its phosphate group, five-carbon sugar and four nitrogen-containing nucleobases namely; adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.

Meanwhile, RNA or ribonucleic acid is single-stranded that is composed of a phosphate group, five-carbon sugar and four nitrogen - containing nucleobases, which are adenine, uracil, guanine, and cytosine.
