Differences in Chemical Make-Up. The main chemical difference between DNA and RNA is the sugar that is present within the molecule. As the names would suggest, ribose is the sugar present in all RNA molecules while deoxyribose is the sugar present in DNA molecules.
RNA is a single-strand molecule; DNA is a spiral of two cross-connected strands. DNA carries information. Part of the DNA in a cell is genes, which code for protein molecules. Each type of receptor, or enzyme, or neurotransmitter, has a stretch of DNA in which its sequence of amino acids is coded. The code-to-primary-structure ratio is three-to-one: three bases (called a codon) per amino acid.
