					  DNA is called deoxyribonucleic acid.					 
					
					 What is DNA called? 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  The 4 bases of RNA are adenine, cytosine, uracil, and guanine.					 
					
					 What are the 4 bases of RNA? 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  Yes, they both have 4 bases.					 
					
					 Do they have the same number of bases? 
					 | 
						
| 
						
					 
					  DNA is a double helix.					 
					
					 Is DNA a double helix or a single strand? 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  RNA stands for Ribonucleic acid.					 
					
					 What does RNA stand for? 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  No. RNA has adenine, cytosine, uracil, and guanine as its bases and DNA has adenine, cytosine, thymine, and guanine.					 
					
					 Do they have the same bases?
