Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA is an information carrying molecule while Ribonucleic acid or RNA acts as a biological catalyst. Both are essential for living beings.

Here are their specifications/differences:

DNA

  • Number of strands: 2 strands
  • Location in the cell: At the nucleus
  • Type of sugar: Deoxyribose
  • Nitrogenous base pair: Adenine and Thymine; Guanine and Cytosine

RNA

  • Number of strands: 1 strand
  • Location in the cell: At the cytoplasm
  • Type of sugar: Ribose
  • Nitrogenous pair: Adenine with Uracil; Guanine with Cytosine

It can also be concluded that one evident difference between the two is that DNA has Thymine while RNA has Uracil.
