Rinse Vs Deoxyribose structures

• The sugar component of DNA is deoxyribose, whereas ribose is used to make up the sugar component of RNA.
• DNA contains four types of nitrogenous bases, while RNA only has three.
• Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is the nucleic acid that carries out most functions within cells
• DNA has four nitrogenous bases (Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine) while RNA only contains three (Adenine, Uracil, Cytosine)
• In DNA, A pairs with T and G pairs with C
• In RNA, A pairs with U
• In DNA, adenine always pairs with thymine, guanine always pairs with cytosine, and cytosine never pairs with adenine or guanine.
• Ribonucleotides are smaller than deoxynucleotides due to the presence of an oxygen atom on carbon number two of the pentose ring.
