DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid
RNA stands for ribonucleic acid
DNA contains deoxyribose as the sugar in each nucleotide
RNA contains ribose instead.
DNA has two strands twisted into a helix
RNA has a single strand
DNA can contain the bases cytosine, thymine, guanine and adanine
RNA has the base uracil instead of thymine.

DNA is completed chain, where as RNA is missing one of the main code sequences making incomplete. Basic Biology can teach you that...also there difference in the Adenine,Thymine, Guamine and Cytosine(DNA) , RNA is totally different in the code sequence

I dont remember exactly but I thought RNA was made up of different components and Isn't RNA the copied strand of DNA? I dunno I could be wrong.
