What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

0:17

DNA contains deoxyribose sugar, is double-stranded, and uses the bases adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. RNA contains ribose sugar, is usually single-stranded, and uses uracil instead of thymine. DNA stores information long-term while RNA mostly transmits and translates that information.
