How is RNA different from DNA in terms of structure and function?
Structurally, RNA is usually single-stranded and has ribose sugar, while DNA is double-stranded with deoxyribose sugar. RNA contains uracil instead of thymine, found in DNA. Functionally, RNA acts as a messenger and is involved in protein synthesis, among other roles, while DNA stores genetic information.
