Ribonucleic acid (RNA)
is a polymer of ribonucleotides linked together by 3'-5' phosphodiester linkage
A ribonucleotide in the RNA chain contains ribose (the pentose sugar), one of the four nitrogenous bases (A, U, G, and C), and a phosphate group.
The subtitle structural difference between the sugars gives DNA added stability, making DNA more suitable for storage of genetic information, whereas the relative instability of RNA makes it more suitable for its more short-term functions.
The RNA-specific pyrimidine uracil forms a complementary base pair with adenine and is used instead of the thymine used in DNA.
