Question

Like DNA, RNA contains four nitrogenous bases.

Three of them are the same as those found in
DNA. The one that is different is called
The five-carbon sugar in RNA is called
DONE

Answer 1

1. Uracil

2. Ribose

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA and RNA are both types of nucleic acids. Although they are made up of similar constituent molecules, they are slightly different. All nucleic acids have three major constituents viz: nitrogenous base, pentose sugar and phosphate group.

The four nitrogenous bases found in DNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine. However, three of this bases are found in the RNA molecule but one different one called URACIL, which replaces Thymine is found. Also, the pentose (five-carbon) sugar found in DNA is deoxyribose while that of RNA is RIBOSE.
