QUESTION IMAGE
Question
the image contains labels such as dna, rna, ribose - phosphate backbone, deoxyribose - phosphate backbone, purine bases, pyrimidine bases, hydrogen bonds between base pairs, and two molecular structure diagrams (one likely of rna and one of dna).
Brief Explanations
- The left single-stranded molecule contains uracil (U) and a ribose-phosphate backbone, so it matches RNA. Its backbone is the ribose-phosphate backbone, and the labeled cytosine (C) is a pyrimidine base.
- The right double-stranded molecule contains thymine (T) and a deoxyribose-phosphate backbone, so it matches DNA. The dotted lines between paired bases are hydrogen bonds, the labeled guanine (G) is a purine base, and the alternating phosphate (P) and sugar is the deoxyribose-phosphate backbone.
