Both RNA and DNA are composed of repeated units of nucleotides. These repeating units of RNA are ribonucleotide monophosphates and of DNA are 2-deoxyribonucleotide monophosphates. In simple words, the sugar in DNA is deoxyribose. The sugar in RNA is ribose which is the same as deoxyribose but with one more oxygen-hydrogen atom called a hydroxyl. This is the main difference between DNA and RNA.
Another difference is that RNA molecules have a greater variety of nucleic acid bases. DNA has mostly 4 different bases. The difference in these bases allows RNA molecules to assume a wide variety of shapes and also different functions. DNA, on the other hand, serves as a set of directions and that's about it.
