Detailed explanation-1: -Ribose is a monosaccharide pentose sugar present in RNA while deoxyribose is a derived monosaccharide sugar present in DNA. Galactose and fructose are hexose sugar.
Detailed explanation-2: -Solution : Ribose and deoxyribose sugars.
Detailed explanation-3: -During evolution ribose was selected as the exclusive sugar component of nucleic acids. The selection is explained by using molecular models and by eliminating most of the other common sugars by looking at their chemical structure and envisioning how they would fit in a nucleic acid model.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ribose is an aldopentose (a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms that, in its open chain form, has an aldehyde functional group at one end).
Detailed explanation-5: -Ribose and deoxyribose are classified as monosaccharides, aldoses, pentoses, and are reducing sugars.
