Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
I have the sugar ribose.
A
DNA
B
RNA
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. RNA is synthesized from DNA by an enzyme known as RNA polymerase during a process called transcription.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is a regular monosaccharide with one oxygen attached to each carbon atom. Ribose sugar is found in the RNA of living organisms. RNA is responsible for coding and decoding genetic information.

Detailed explanation-3: -While DNA contains deoxyribose, RNA contains ribose, characterised by the presence of the 2′-hydroxyl group on the pentose ring (Figure 5).

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: Ribose is a 5C sugar found in RNA, hence the name Ribose Nucleic Acid.

Detailed explanation-5: -(Top) -d-Ribose is the ribose sugar found in RNA molecules.
