Solution

DNA (De-oxyribonucleic acid ) RNA (Riboucleic acid)
DNA usually exists in the double stranded form RNA predominantly exists in the single-stranded form
The monomeric unit: nucleotide of DNA has Deoxy ribose sugar It is ribose sugar in RNA
In DNA- Purines; Adenine and Guanine (A and G),
Pyrimidines; Thymidine and Cytosine (T and C) In RNA - Purines; Adenine and Guanine (A and G),
Pyrimidines; Uracil and Cytosine (U and C)
