DNA is a double-stranded molecule with deoxyribose sugar and contains the bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. RNA is usually single-stranded, has ribose sugar, and contains uracil instead of thymine. DNA acts as the genetic material in most organisms, while RNA acts as a messenger and, in some viruses, as the genetic material.
