They are both nucleic acids.
Regarding structure, DNA and RNA are similar because they are both built of nucleotides, structures consisting of one nucleobase, a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose respectively) and a phosphate group.
For both of them, their function is mainly containing information in the form of code, using 4 different bases. They both use adenine, cytosine and guanine. The fourth base differs, DNA uses thymine while RNA uses uracil.
More detail: Ribose has one more OH group than deoxyribose. This makes it more reactive, increasing mutation rates. Hence why RNA genomes (e.g. in certain viruses) cannot exceed a certain size without the error rate during copying running so high that the copies can hardly be called copies. DNA genomes are stabler and can grow to much larger sizes (other viruses and all organisms larger than them).
DNA can form triple-stranded structures, although this is not common in nature. RNA can also form triple-stranded structures, particularly in certain non-canonical forms of RNA. Overall, triple-stranded structures are less common than the more prevalent double-stranded forms of DNA and RNA.
DNA and RNA both have a sugar-phosphate backbone, composed of deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA. They also share adenine, cytosine, and guanine as common nitrogenous bases. Additionally, both DNA and RNA can form double-stranded helical structures through complementary base pairing.
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
Some disease-causing viruses have RNA instead of DNA as their genetic material. RNA viruses include the influenza virus, HIV, and the common cold virus.
RNA has the base uracil that DNA does not have.
What a cell and a virus have in common is the RNA or DNA. The virus can be either a RNA virus or a DNA virus.
Some viruses move RNA, some DNA; but RNA is more common.
when you ask for common cold you are talking maybe about rhinovirus and rhinovirus they have RNA
Adenine,Thyamine,Guanine common to both.Cytocine in DNA.Uracil in RNA

In the hereditary information of DNA and RNA is a common place, in the chromosomes and center of cells

Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
Some disease-causing viruses have RNA instead of DNA as their genetic material. RNA viruses include the influenza virus, HIV, and the common cold virus.
An uracil base is in RNA but not in DNA
RNA has the base uracil that DNA does not have.
