Question

Find correct for both DNA and RNA

• A. Ability to replicate
• B. Similar sugar
• C. Similar bases
• D. Polymeric nucleotides

Answer 1

The correct option is D Polymeric nucleotides

A. DNA is self- replicating, and RNA is synthesized from DNA on an as- needed basis.

B. DNA contains a pentose sugar Deoxyribose, and RNA contains a pentose sugar Ribose.

C. The bases in DNA are Adenine (‘A’), Thymine (‘T’), Guanine (‘G’) and Cytosine (‘C’), RNA shares Adenine (‘A’), Guanine (‘G’) and Cytosine (‘C’) with DNA, but contains Uracil (‘U’) rather than Thymine

D.The nucleic acids, both DNA and RNA, consisting of polymers of nucleotides. The nucleotides are linked covalently between the 3’ carbon atom of the pentose and the phosphate group attached to the 5’ carbon of the adjacent pentose.

So, the correct answer is “polymeric nucleotides”.
