They are both carbohydrates and monosaccarides. Examples of ketoses are fructose and ketone bodies (produced by the body). Examples of aldoses are glucose and galactose. They are similar but not identical.
The explanation given by the first person, mentioning ketone and aldone molecules is also true and correct.

A the carbonyl or =O group is in the aldehyde position or on an end carbon in an aldose and it is in the ketone or middle carbon position in a ketose
