    DNA and RNA are made up of nucleotides that contain a sugar, phosphate, and one of four nitrogenous bases. DNA exists as a double helix structure and carries genetic information through complementary base pairing between adenine and thymine, and guanine and cytosine. RNA is single stranded and assists DNA in protein production through similar complementary base pairing, except uracil pairs with adenine instead of thymine.
