    DNA and RNA are made up of nucleotides which contain a pentose sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose and bases adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine bonded together in a double-stranded helix. RNA contains the sugar ribose instead of deoxyribose and replaces thymine with uracil, forming a single-stranded structure.
