Differences between DNA and RNA

• The sugar found in DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is deoxyribose (missing an oxygen), as opposed to ribose (has an extra oxygen) that is found in RNA (Ribonucleic Acid).

• Four different nitrogen-containing bases are found in DNA: Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C), and Thymine (T).
  In RNA, Uracil (U) takes the place of Thymine (T).
