Functional difference between RNA and DNA?

DNA remains inside the nuclei of cells and contains all the genetic information. RNA, however, helps to take the DNA "code" out of the nuclei to make proteins at the ribosomes. You can imagine DNA as the "criminal" in a prison and must use the RNA "messenger" to take his messages into the outside world.

What RNA stands for?

RNA is ribonucleic acid. It is a nucleic acid just as DNA. DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid. It actually has to do with OH groups on the sugars ribose and deoxyribose.
