DNA and RNA
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). They differ in that the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA contains deoxyribose sugar (C2 -H) while the backbone of RNA contains ribose sugar (C2 -OH). RNA also contains the nitrogenous base Uracil (U) instead of Thymine (T) as in DNA. Chemically speaking, RNA is generally single-stranded (although it can form base pairs with itself) and less stable.
