Question

complete the table to compare dna and rna.
table with columns: (blank), dna, rna; rows:

• contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus
• stands for ribonucleic acid
• stands for deoxyribonucleic acid
• is a polymer made of nucleotides

each cell in dna/rna columns has a checkbox.

Explanation:

To complete the table comparing DNA and RNA, we analyze each row:

Row 1: "contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus"

Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, and their nucleotide structure includes these elements. Thus, DNA: ✔️, RNA: ✔️

Row 2: "stands for ribonucleic acid"

RNA is the abbreviation for ribonucleic acid. Thus, DNA: ❌, RNA: ✔️

Row 3: "stands for deoxyribonucleic acid"

DNA is the abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid. Thus, DNA: ✔️, RNA: ❌

Row 4: "is a polymer made of nucleotides"

Both DNA and RNA are polymers (chains) of nucleotides. Thus, DNA: ✔️, RNA: ✔️

Final Table (with checkmarks):

Description	DNA	RNA
stands for ribonucleic acid	❌	✔️
stands for deoxyribonucleic acid	✔️	❌
is a polymer made of nucleotides	✔️	✔️
