Question

- Attempt 2 rence between DNA and RNA Which statement accurately summarizes a difference between ribonucleotides and deoxyribonucleotides? See Section 4.1 (Page) View Available Hint(s) Ribonucleotides may have a G, A, U, or C bonded at 1' carbon, deoxyribonucleotides have G, A Tor Cbonded at the same location Ribonucleotides contain only purines, deoxyribonucleotides contain only pyrimidines Ribonucleotides have a hydroxyl group bonded to their 3 carbon, deoxyribonucleotides have an H at the same location. In ribonucleotides, the sugar is a pentose, deoxyribonucleotides have a hexose as the sugat unit SI Submit le Feedback

Answer 1

Answer: Ribonucleotides may have a G, A, U or C bonded at 1^' carbon, deoxy-ribo nucleotides have G, A, T or C bonded at the same location.

Explanation: DNA has A, T, G, C bases whereas RNA has A, U, G, C bases.

For the other options, both DNA and RNA have purines and pyrimidines. The hydroxyl group in RNA are bonded to the position 2^' and not the 3^' carbon and in DNA have H at the same position. Sugars in both DNA and RNA are pentose only
