* DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid): This is the genetic material that carries the instructions for building and maintaining an organism. It's organized into chromosomes.
* RNA (Ribonucleic Acid): This is involved in protein synthesis. Different types of RNA, like messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA), play crucial roles in this process.
While both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, they have important differences in their structure and function.
