Explanation:

DNA and RNA are both nucleic acids. DNA is double - stranded, has deoxyribose sugar, and the bases adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). It stores genetic information. RNA is usually single - stranded, has ribose sugar, and the bases adenine (A), uracil (U), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). It is involved in protein synthesis (mRNA, tRNA, rRNA).

Answer:

DNA and RNA are both nucleic acids. DNA is double - stranded, contains deoxyribose sugar and bases A, T, C, G, and stores genetic information. RNA is usually single - stranded, has ribose sugar and bases A, U, C, G, and is involved in protein synthesis.
