Difference between ssDNA and RNA. - (Apr/14/2021 )

Hello!

Could anyone possibly explain me the difference between RNA and ssDNA?

Hint DNA and RNA are acronyms... find out the full name and structures associated with them and you will have the answer.

You will also need to know which bases are used in each.  That is a difference that doesn't show up in the names of these nucleic acid types.
