Detailed explanation-1: -Both DNA and RNA are built with a sugar backbone, but whereas the sugar in DNA is called deoxyribose (left in image), the sugar in RNA is called simply ribose (right in image).
Detailed explanation-2: -The four types of RNA are mRNA, tRNA, rRNA and heterogeneous nuclear RNA or hn RNA. they have different functional roles in the cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -ribose, also called D-ribose, five-carbon sugar found in RNA (ribonucleic acid), where it alternates with phosphate groups to form the “backbone” of the RNA polymer and binds to nitrogenous bases.
Detailed explanation-4: -Both DNA and RNA are made up of a nitrogen base, a phosphate group, and a sugar base, and the two nucleotides get connected with the help of phosphodiester bonds and form a long chain of macromolecules.
