Chapter 2, Problem 22MIC

When comparing the structures of RNA and DNA , which of the following statement is True?A-Only RNA contains 3'-deoxyribise rings B-Both RNA and DNA contain 3'-deoxyribise rings C-Only DNA contains 3'- deoxyribise rings D-Neither RNA or DNA contain 3'-deoxyribise rings

What base is missing in RNA and what base replaces it?

The variable structures of a nucleotide are the sugar and the phosphate group. (a). Say if the statement written above is true or false. (b). Give ONE reason for your answer in part (a).

What is the difference between DNA and RNA? Give at least three examples

Provide a complete name for a nucleotide that consists of thymine, deoxyribose, and three phosphates

What is a nucleotide

DNA and RNA are chemically very similar but are distinguished, in large part, by the presence of a 2’-OH group in RNA and a 2’-H group in DNA. Why do you suppose that both DNA and RNA have 3’-OH groups and we do not typically find nucleic acids within cells that have 3’-H groups?

What difference between RNA and DNA helps to explain the greater stability of DNA? What implications does this have for the function of DNA?

What are the three components of a nucleotide?
