Difference between DNA and RNA
| D.N.A. | R.N.A. |
| (i) DNA contains over a million nucleotide | (i) Depending among the type RNA contains 71-12000 nucleophites |
| (ii) It contains deoxyribose sugar | (ii) It contains ribose sugar |
| (iii) Nitrogen base thymine occurs is DNA along with three others-adenine, cytosine and guanine | (iii) Thymine is replaced by uracil in RNA The other three are similar adenine, cytosine and guanine |
| (iv) DNA is the genetic material | (iv) RNA is not the genetic material except in certain viruses e.g., Reovirus |
