Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following statements is not true?
O RNA contains ribose and DNA contains deoxyribose
O RNA contains uracil and DNA contains thymine
RNA is single strand while DNA is double strand
RNA contains nucleosides and DNA contains nucleotides
Cle
RNA molecules are more easily broken down than DNA at a high pH. This can be attributed to the fact that:
RNA has a higher melting temperature than DNA.
RNA contains uracil that helps break down the RNA, whereas DNA contains thymine.
RNA is single stranded but DNA is double stranded.
RNA is a smaller chain than DNA, which makes RNA easier to break apart than DNA.
RNA contains an oxygen at the 2' carbon of its ribose sugar whereas DNA does not.
Which of the following are true statements about DNA and RNA? Select all that apply.
RNA contains the base uracil and the sugar ribose
RNA contains the base thymine and the sugar deoyribose
The monomer (repeating subunit) of both DNA and RNA is a nucleotide (a sugar, a
phosphate group and a nitrogenous base)
RNA has two strands, while DNA is single stranded
DNA has two strands, while RNA is single stranded
