RNA: Single and Ready to Mingle

How do the differences in the structure of DNA and RNA contribute to the difference in the functions of those molecules?
The main difference between DNA and RNA is that DNA is double stranded, and RNA is single and can twist to connect to itself. Also, RNA replaces thymine with uracil [see ‘Nitrogen’s Purpose’ under 2.A.3]. The difference in their functions are explained in ‘Really Tiny and Cool Legos’.
