Detailed explanation-1: -The best answer choice is 2-both structures contain nucleotides, that form base pairs with other nucleotides, which allows each molecule to act as a template in the synthesis of other nucleic acid molecules. As shown in the image below, DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides that are similar in structure.
Detailed explanation-2: -DNA and RNA molecules both contain four nitrogenous bases. Three of these (adenine, cytosine, and guanine) are found in both types of nucleic acid.
Detailed explanation-3: -Both DNA and RNA have four nitrogenous bases each-three of which they share (Cytosine, Adenine, and Guanine) and one that differs between the two (RNA has Uracil while DNA has Thymine).
Detailed explanation-4: -Which of the following best describes how DNA and RNA are similar? They both contain the nitrogen bases thymine and adenine.
