Question

The RNA and DNA differ in having different

• A. Type of pentose sugar
• B. Type of Phosphates
• C. Type of Nitrogen base
• D. Both A and C

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and C

RNA is ribonucleic acid made up of ribonucleotides. DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid made up of deoxyribonucleotides. The ribonucleotides have ribose sugar, phosphoric acid, and nitrogenous bases. The deoxyribonucleotides are made up of 2' deoxyribose sugar, phosphoric acid, and nitrogenous bases. The nitrogenous bases which are a component of ribonucleotides are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil. The nitrogenous bases which are a component of deoxyribonucleotides are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. So, the correct answer is option D.
