State

DNA and RNA are the two nucleic acids built from nucleotide chains, differing in sugar, strand count, and one of four bases.

Show

DNA carries deoxyribose, usually pairs into two strands, and uses thymine; RNA carries ribose, usually stays single-stranded, and uses uracil instead.

Watch for

This unit stops at nucleic-acid structure — DNA replication and RNA's role in protein synthesis are later units' work.
