Question

rna, like dna, is a nucleic acid made of a long chain of nucleotides. but there are three important differences between rna and dna: the 5 - carbon sugar in rna is ribose instead of deoxyribose. rna has a nitrogenous base called uracil instead of thymine. rna is usually single - stranded, not double - stranded. put each diagram in the correct column.

Explanation:

Recall the differences between DNA and RNA nucleotides. DNA has deoxyribose sugar and bases adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine. RNA has ribose sugar and bases adenine, uracil, guanine, cytosine. Identify the sugar in each nucleotide diagram to classify.

Answer:

DNA nucleotides: Diagrams with deoxyribose (adenine - deoxyribose - phosphate and guanine - deoxyribose - phosphate).
RNA nucleotides: Diagrams with ribose (uracil - ribose - phosphate and cytosine - ribose - phosphate).
