Differences between DNA and RNA

Flashcards covering the structural and chemical differences between DNA and RNA molecules.

How do DNA and RNA differ in their strandedness?

DNA is double stranded molecule while RNA is a single stranded molecule.

Which nitrogenous bases are present in DNA, and which base is absent?

DNA consists of $A$, $T$, $G$ and $C$ and absence of $U$, while RNA consists of $A$,$U$, $G$ and $C$ and absence of $T$

What are the sugar molecules found in RNA and DNA?
