DNA is one example of Nucleic acids and RNA is another one. The difference between the two is that DNA forms a double helix structure whereas RNA only has one strand and no helix structure. Also DNA contains the nitrogenous bases adenine and guanine which are the purines and cytosine and thymine which are the pryimidines. RNA on the other hand has uracil instead of thymine and RNA is only used in protein sythesis. DNA is also used for replication for duplicating cells and such.
