DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DNA AND RNA

• Sugar - DNA contains deoxyribose sugar, Deoxyribose is a pentose sugar but is different from ribose because it lacks an oxygen atom at the 2 position on the sugar ring
• Strand - Double stranded, forming a double helix structure
• Nitrogenous bases - DNA uses the bases adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T)
• Location - Located in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells
• Function - Genetic storage, transmission of genetic information
