Detailed explanation-1: -The back bone of RNA is the presence of the ribose sugar in its structure.
Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike DNA, RNA is usually single-stranded. Additionally, RNA contains ribose sugars rather than deoxyribose sugars, which makes RNA more unstable and more prone to degradation.
Detailed explanation-3: -RNA, containing a ribose sugar, is more reactive than DNA and is not stable in alkaline conditions.
Detailed explanation-4: -ribose, also called D-ribose, five-carbon sugar found in RNA (ribonucleic acid), where it alternates with phosphate groups to form the “backbone” of the RNA polymer and binds to nitrogenous bases.
Detailed explanation-5: -Ribonucleic (RNA) acids are ribonucleotide polymers. Ribonucleotides consist of a ribose sugar, phosphoric acid, and a nitrogenous base. An example of a ribonucleotide is an ATP (adenosine triphosphate). UTP, GTP, and CTP are other ribonucleotides found in RNA.
