Although they are both nucleic acids, RNA and DNA carry out different functions. Which statement describes a similarity between the two macromolecules? O They share two purines and two pyrimidines. O They are both composed of 5-carbon sugars. O They are self-replicating. They are double stranded.
What type of nucleic acid corresponds to the statement? -Both -DNA only -RNA only -Neither 1.) carbonyl bonds 2.) no OH in the sugar 3.) control of protein synthesis
Which represents a similarity between DNA and RNA? Double-stranded helical structure The presence of the base adenine The same number of oxygen atoms in each of their pentose sugars The relative length of each molecule None of the above are common to both DNA and RNA
RNA molecules are more easily broken down than DNA at a high pH. This can be attributed to the fact that: RNA has a higher melting temperature than DNA. RNA contains uracil that helps break down the RNA, whereas DNA contains thymine. RNA is single stranded but DNA is double stranded. RNA is a smaller chain than DNA, which makes RNA easier to break apart than DNA. RNA contains an oxygen at the 2' carbon of its ribose sugar whereas DNA does not.
What type of nucleic acid corresponds to the statement? -Both -DNA only -RNA only -Neither 1.) gene expression 2.) polynucleotide 3.) 3'-5' phosphodiester bond
