How do the degrees of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite differ from the York Rite?

The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite operates as a system of thirty-three degrees worked incrementally from the fourth through the thirty-third degree following the Craft degrees, as the Supreme Council 33° states. The York Rite, by contrast, consists of a series of separate appendant bodies and degrees, including the Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, the Council of Cryptic Masonry, and the Commandery of Knights Templar, as Mark Masons' Hall sets out.

In the Scottish Rite system, degrees are administered progressively through a single numerical structure culminating in the thirty-third degree, whereas York Rite degrees are divided into distinct independent orders and governing bodies, as a paper read before Quatuor Coronati Lodge points out.
