Students have asked these similar questions
RNA differs from DNA in that:
a) The ribose in RNA nucleotides contains fewer oxygen atoms than does
deoxyribose DNA nucleotides.
b) It is always single stranded and cannot form base pairs.
c) It contains the nucleotide uracil, which pairs with thymine.
d) It is single-stranded but can fold into a variety of structures, some of which
are double-stranded.
e) RNA can only be found in the cytoplasm whereas DNA can only be found in
the nucleus.
The following define nucleic acids EXCEPT
A) They are polyionic molecules of high molecular weight composed of subunits or monomers called nucleosides.
B) They are chainlike macromolecules that function in the storage and transfer of genetic information.
C They are polynucleotides.
They contain genes that encode for polypeptides and RNAS.
Which are the nucleotides
"portions" that bind in the
formation of nucleic acids?
What is meant by the 5' and 3'
extremities of nucleic acids?
