Step 1
Has an H attached to the carbon: This statement is referring to the difference between the sugar components of DNA and RNA. DNA has deoxyribose sugar, which has an H attached to the 2' carbon, while RNA has ribose sugar, which has an OH group attached to the 2' Show more…

Which of the following options explains a similarity between DNA and RNA in terms of their chemical structure? They both contain ribose sugar. They both contain adenine and uracil bases. They are both double-stranded. They are both single-stranded. They both contain a sugar-phosphate backbone.

Select all of the following that describe RNA. Check all that apply. nucleotides contain the sugar deoxyribose always occurs as a double-stranded helix can be single-stranded can catalyze chemical reactions the nitrogenous base thymine is used instead of guanine the nitrogenous base uracil is used instead of thymine nucleotides contain the sugar ribose
