Question 8:
In DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the sugar present is deoxyribose. DNA is a nucleic acid, and its structure consists of a sugar - phosphate backbone along with nitrogenous bases. The sugar in DNA is a pentose (5 - carbon) sugar called deoxyribose, which differs from the ribose sugar in RNA (ribonucleic acid) by the absence of an oxygen atom on the 2' carbon of the sugar ring.
In the double - helix structure of DNA, the nitrogenous bases follow specific base - pairing rules. Adenine (A) is a purine base, and it forms hydrogen bonds with Thymine (T), which is a pyrimidine base. Guanine (G), also a purine base, forms hydrogen bonds with Cytosine (C), a pyrimidine base. This specific base - pairing (A - T and G - C) is crucial for the replication and transcription processes of DNA, as it ensures the accurate transfer of genetic information.
