Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A carbohydrate that is found only in DNA is ____
A
Sucrose
B
Ribose
C
Deoxyribose
D
Lactose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA contains deoxyribose as the sugar component and RNA contains the sugar ribose. Polynucleotides are formed by covalent linkages between the phosphate of one nucleotide and the sugar of another, resulting in phosphodiester linkages.

Detailed explanation-2: -In deoxyribonucleic acids, DNA, the carbohydrate is deoxyribose with cytosine, thymine, adenine and guanine bases.

Detailed explanation-3: -A carbohydrate found in DNA is Deoxyribose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbohydrates-Ribose. Ribose and its related compound, deoxyribose, are the building blocks of the backbone chains in nucleic acids, better known as DNA and RNA. Ribose is used in RNA and deoxyribose is used in DNA.

Detailed explanation-5: -deoxyribose, also called d-2-deoxyribose, five-carbon sugar component of DNA (q.v.; deoxyribonucleic acid), where it alternates with phosphate groups to form the “backbone” of the DNA polymer and binds to nitrogenous bases.
