DNA never leaves the nucleus; RNA is in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm.Explanation:DNA and RNA differ from each other with respect to their structure, function, and location. DNA is always present in the nucleus and never leaves the nucleus.   DNA replication and transcription also occur in the nucleus to form DNA and RNA respectively.On the other hand, RNA is present in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. The mRNA leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm to serve as a template in protein synthesis. The rRNA and tRNA are also present in the cytoplasm.

• RNA is single stranded.• RNA has the sugar ribose as a part of its structureExplanation:Hope this helped!I didn't say that the third option was true because the DNA's thymine translates to RNA's uracil.
