Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following differentiates a DNA from an RNA?
A
thymine
B
guanine
C
cytosine
D
adenine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA is composed of long strands of the nucleotides adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. In RNA, the thymine is replaced by uracil.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two differences that distinguish DNA from RNA: (a) RNA contains the sugar ribose, while DNA contains the slightly different sugar deoxyribose (a type of ribose that lacks one oxygen atom), and (b) RNA has the nucleobase uracil while DNA contains thymine.

Detailed explanation-3: -DNA and RNA are different from their structure, functions, and stabilities. DNA has four nitrogen bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine and for RNA instead of thymine, it has uracil. Also, DNA is double-stranded and RNA is single-stranded which is why RNA can leave the nucleus and DNA can’t.

Detailed explanation-4: -DNA and RNA molecules have different functions. DNA stores genetic information for the cell, whereas RNA codes for amino acids and acts as a messenger between DNA molecules and the ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nucleotide The bases used in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). In RNA, the base uracil (U) takes the place of thymine.
