Cytidine is composed of one molecule each of cytosine and ribose. The cytosine molecule is the same between DNA and RNA, the difference is in the sugar backbone. In RNA it is ribose while in DNA it is deoxyribose.
The term double helix refers to the structure formed by double-stranded molecules of nucleic acids. Only DNA forms a double helix because RNA is only single-stranded.
RNA has uracil; DNA has thymine (5-methyl uracil). The other difference (and the reason for the difference in the names) is that the sugar in RNA is ribose, but in DNA it is 2-deoxyribose.
One difference between DNA and RNA is that DNA has a nitrogen base pyrimidine thymine that connects with purine adenine. In RNA, thymine is replaced by another pyrimidine called uracil.
RNA can move and DNA cant. DNA has a double helix strand and RNA is a single strand.
There are several differences for example; most DNA viruses use the DNA polymerases of of the host cell to synthesize new genomes along the templates provided by the viral DNA, in contrast to replicate their genomes, RNA viruses use virally encoded polymerases that can use RNA as a template. RNA viruses usually retain their RNA within capsids, whilst DNA viruses are less "packaged" usually retained within say a head, or a capsomere. The main difference of course, is that DNA viruses contain either a doubled stranded DNA (dsDNA) or a single stranded (ssDNA), and RNA viruses contain dsRNA or ssRNA. There are of course several other differences, but these are the ones I know of.
the difference between DNA and RNA AS DNA ARE DOUBLE STANDED AND RNA IS SINGLE STANDED
the difference is that DNA is a double helix and RNA is a single chain
Bacteria has both DNA and RNA where as Virus has either DNA or RNA
One of the bases of RNA is uracil while one of the bases of DNA is thymine.
DNA is double stranded while RNA only has one strand.

DNA has a deoxyribose sugar; RNA has a ribose sugar DNA is a double stranded helix; RNA is a single stranded helix RNA has the nitrogen base uracil instead of thymine (thymine is one of the four bases in DNA).
There is no thymine in RNA, there is uracil instead. So in DNA the base pairs are adenine - thymine and cytosine-guanine, and in RNA adenine-uracil and cytosine-guanine.

The difference between a common animal virus and a retrovirus is that a retrovirus only contains RNA while a common animal virus will have DNA or RNA.
