Description
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a nucleic acid, along with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The primary difference between RNA and DNA is that RNA is a single-strand molecule folded in on itself, whereas DNA is a double-strand molecule. RNA plays many biological roles that involve the coding and expression of genes. Viruses may also use RNA to encode their genes.
