I’m assuming you mean RNA and not rn, if so. Some of the differences I know between DNA and RNA is DNA is double standard and RNA is single standard. While DNA has A G C T, RNA had A G C U, the A will bond with the U. RNA also stores information about protein structure. The order would be DNA —> RNA —> Protein! RNA has the sugar ribose! I’m sorry this might still be very confusing, but I hope that helps a little bit!! tuontoHeart tuontoHeart

Adding on, both DNA and RNA have 5 carbon sugars, but DNA is missing an OH group on it’s 2’ carbon but still has a 3’ OH group, hence deoxyribose as the sugar and deoxyribonucleic acid as the full name (de-oxy means missing the oxygen). RNA has OH groups on both the 2’ and 3’ carbons, so no deoxy before it. DNA stays in the nucleus and cannot leave, so RNA exists to transport genetic info to ribosomes for protein synthesis (among other functions as well). Hope this helps!

Since ADN has 2 strands, there is a codant and a non codant strand
RNA uses non codant as template, so that it has the codant sequence of ADN
And it always goes from 5' to 3'
