In the most basic terms, genome is the genetic material of an organism. It is what tells the organism what to be and how to be. The genome is coded in DNA, or in RNA for many types of viruses. The term, genome, was coined in the 1920, as a portmanteau of gene and chromosome.
The basic difference between DNA and RNA are, 1.DNA contains deoxyriose sugar moiety where RNA contains ribose sugar. 2.DNA is mostly double stranded whereas RNA are usually single stranded. 3.DNA is more stable than RNA and hence it has more advantage in evolution.
