Select the correct statement
A
DNA is double-stranded but RNA is single-stranded, although their nucleotides are identical
B
DNA and RNA are single-stranded molecules with dissimilar nucleotides
C
DNA and RNA are double-stranded molecules composed of nucleotides
D
DNA contains the genetic code, and RNA carries the coded information to the sites of protein synthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA is double-stranded but RNA is single-stranded, although their nucleotides are identical. DNA contains the genetic code, and RNA carries the coded information to the sites of protein synthesis. DNA and RNA are single-stranded molecules with dissimilar nucleotides.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is found in all biological cells and usually occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell although its synthesis takes place in the nucleus. While DNA provides the code for the cell’s activities, RNA is responsible for converting that code into proteins that carry out various cellular functions.

Detailed explanation-3: -genetic code, the sequence of nucleotides in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) that determines the amino acid sequence of proteins. Though the linear sequence of nucleotides in DNA contains the information for protein sequences, proteins are not made directly from DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nucleic acids, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), carry genetic information which is read in cells to make the RNA and proteins by which living things function. The well-known structure of the DNA double helix allows this information to be copied and passed on to the next generation.
