- DNA is a double helix, but RNA is a single strand
- DNA stores instructions permanently, but RNA delivers instructions to Ribosomes
- RNA is more resistant to UV radiation
- While DNA contains adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine, RNA contains adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine
- DNA stays in the nucleus (except for organelles that have their own genetic material), while RNA is found in a variety of places, including the nucleus, cytoplasm and ribosomes.
