In which of the following ways does RNA differ from DNA?
A
RNA is double-stranded, while DNA is single-stranded.
B
RNA contains the base thymine, while DNA contains the base uracil.
C
RNA contains ribose sugar, while DNA contains deoxyribose sugar.
D
RNA is more stable than DNA under alkaline conditions.
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the structural differences between RNA and DNA. RNA is typically single-stranded, whereas DNA is double-stranded.
Examine the sugar components of RNA and DNA. RNA contains ribose sugar, while DNA contains deoxyribose sugar.
Compare the nitrogenous bases present in RNA and DNA. RNA contains uracil instead of thymine, which is found in DNA.
Consider the stability of RNA and DNA under different conditions. RNA is generally less stable than DNA under alkaline conditions.
Review the options provided and match them with the known differences between RNA and DNA to identify the correct statement.
