Detailed explanation-1: -Ribose sugar is a key component of both DNA and RNA’s chemical structures. The ribose sugar used in DNA is deoxyribose, while RNA uses unmodified ribose sugar also known as pentose sugar in RNA.
Detailed explanation-2: -DNA contains deoxyribose as the sugar component and RNA contains the sugar ribose.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, this formula means that deoxyribose is made of 5 carbon atoms, 10 hydrogen atoms, and 4 oxygen atoms. Atoms can be found everywhere and are the basic chemical elements of life.
Detailed explanation-4: -The sugar in DNA is deoxyribose. The pyrimidines are cytosine (C) and thymine (T); the purines are guanine (G) and adenine (A). The bases are linked by hydrogen bonds such that A always pairs with T and G with C.
