  1. In DNA the OH group(Hydroxyl) is missing at 2 position for RNA, OH group is present at 2 position

  2. DNA contains Thymine as a pyrimidine base whereas in RNA, it is replaced by Uracil base.
    For example - ATGC(for DNA) , AUGC(for RNA).

  3. I think there's no differences in purine bases.( You should look it up)

  4. DNA contains Deoxyribose sugar because OH is missing ( follow the first answer) and as for RNA, it contains ribose sugar.
