Which statement describes the bases pairing in nucleic acids? Purine bases always pair with other purine bases Purine bases can only pair with pyrimidine bases Adenine cannot pair with either uracil or thymine Hydrogen bonding can only occur between the pyrimidine bases Guanine is always paired with adenine
Which statement is true of DNA's structure? All four bases in DNA can be found in equal quantities. The hydrogen bonding of cytosine to guanine is an example of complementary base pairing. In DNA, adenine always base pairs with guanine and cytosine always base pairs with thymine. Each of the four nucleotides in a DNA molecule has the same nitrogen-containing base.
Which statement accurately describes the differences between RNA and DNA? RNA always folds into a single helix while DNA always folds into a double helix. RNA contains the nitrogenous base thymine, while DNA contains the nitrogenous base uracil. RNA contains pyrimidine bases, while DNA contains purine bases. The nucleotides in DNA contain one phosphate group while those in RNA contain two phosphate groups. The sugar in DNA contains one less hydroxyl group than the sugar in RNA.
