First RNA (ridonucleic acid) is used during the construction of proteins.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material of organisms.
These are both types of nucleic acids.
They are both made up of nucleotides, which are made from 5-carbon simple sugar, a nitrogen base, and a phosphate group.
the differenece between DNA and RNA is that RNA is only made up of a single, long chain of nucleotides while DNA is made up of two enormous nucleotide chains (which are attached in a ladder-like structure which then coils into a double delix shape).
Another difference is that DNA has 4 nucleotides that pair together. Ex, adenine to thymine and cytosine to guanine.
However RNA doesn't have a thymine and instead has another base called uracil that pairs with adenine.

How is RNA different from RNA?
Did you mean how is RNA different from DNA?
Are DNA and RNA carbohydrates?
Yes, DNA and RNA have different sugar . DNA contains deoxyribose sugar whereas RNA consists of ribose sugar, which are completely different from each other.
What makes DNA different from rna?
Ribose
What is the one letter that is different from DNA in the RNA code?
RNA uses Uracil (U) in place of T (thymine) in DNA.
What is a description of the structure of DNA and RNA?
DNA is double stranded whereas RNA is single stranded . They are different in their functioning as well .
What base is different in RNA from the bases in DNA?
Both DNA and RNA each contain the bases adenine, cytosine, and guanine. They differ in that DNA contains thymine whereas RNA contains uracil.
Is DNA transciption is another word for DNA replication?
They are completely different processes in the central dogma. DNA replication is the replication of DNA into DNA by DNA polymerases. Trancription is the transcription of DNA into RNA by RNA polymerase.
What is the primase and its function?
Primase in the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase enzyme that functions in DNA replication by synthesizing the RNA primers which are then extended by DNA polymerase to yield newly synthesized DNA fragments. While being an RNA polymerase, primase is different from the RNA polymerase that functions in the transcription of DNA.
What are different types of nucleic acids?
DNA and RNA
Why is RNA primase not DNA primase?
RNA primer is a short strand of RNA that is synthesized along single-stranded DNA during replication, initiating DNA polymerase-catalyzed synthesis of the complementary strand. RNA primase is the enzyme that synthesize the RNA primer.
How is a RNA different from a dna?
RNA contains the sugar ribose, while DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose. RNA contains the nitrogen base uracil, while DNA contains the nitrogen base thymine instead.
What are two types of nucleic acid found the cell?
Deoxy-ribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)
