A) Dehydration synthesis How do the structures of RNA and DNA differ?
RNA is typically single-stranded and contains ribose sugar, while DNA is double-stranded and contains deoxyribose sugar. What pairs with cytosine?
Cytosine pairs with guanine. What are the bases in DNA?
The bases in DNA are adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. What are the main structural differences between RNA and DNA?
RNA is single-stranded and contains ribose sugar and uracil, while DNA is double-stranded and contains deoxyribose sugar and thymine. Which portion of a nucleotide creates the primary structure of a nucleotide?
The primary structure of a nucleotide is created by the sugar-phosphate backbone. How do the secondary structures of DNA and RNA differ?
DNA forms a double helix, while RNA typically remains single-stranded but can form complex secondary structures. What are the building blocks of DNA and RNA?
The building blocks of DNA and RNA are nucleotides. What is the monomer (building block) of DNA?
