Compare the structure of DNA and RNA and complete the table suitably. Number of strands Type of sugar Nitrogen bases DNA RNA

Number of strands Type of sugar Nitrogen bases DNA Two Deoxyribose Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine RNA One Ribose Adenine, Uracil, Guanine, Cytosine DNA is a double stranded structure made of deoxyribose sugar, pentose phosphate and nitrogen bases. The major function of DNA is to encode the sequence of amino acid residues in proteins, using the genetic code. RNA is single stranded structure composed of ribose sugar, phosphate and nitrogen bases. RNA converts the information stored in DNA into proteins.
