Classify the following statements as describing deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA): DNA: - The eukaryote genome is usually double stranded. - It includes deoxyribose sugar. - It includes the base thymine. - It can be translated into a parallel single molecule. - It can form a complex secondary structure. - It is over ten million nucleotides long. RNA: - The genome is usually single stranded. - It includes the base uracil.

The complete the following statements to describe the basic structure of nucleic acids. - Nucleic acids are made of monomers called __nucleotides__, each of which contains three parts. - The __nucleotide__ contains a __sugar__ group, and a __nitrogenous__ base. - In the double helix of DNA, the __nitrogenous__ bases of one strand exhibit __complementary__ with the bases of the other strand. - This means that in DNA, Cytosine is always paired with __guanine__ and adenine is always paired with __thymine__.
