Which of the following is a key structural difference between DNA and RNA?
A
DNA is typically double-stranded, while RNA is typically single-stranded.
B
DNA contains uracil, while RNA contains thymine.
C
DNA contains the sugar ribose, while RNA contains the sugar deoxyribose.
D
DNA is found only in the cytoplasm, while RNA is found only in the nucleus.
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the structural components of DNA and RNA, focusing on the strands, sugars, and nitrogenous bases.
Understand that DNA is typically double-stranded, forming a double helix, while RNA is usually single-stranded.
Recognize the difference in sugars: DNA contains deoxyribose, while RNA contains ribose.
Differentiate between the nitrogenous bases: DNA contains thymine, whereas RNA contains uracil.
Clarify the cellular locations: DNA is primarily found in the nucleus, while RNA can be found in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
