Question

Determine whether each of the following is a characteristic of DNA, RNA, or both. Is single-stranded: Contains nitrogenous bases: Contains uracil: Contains adenine: Is double-stranded: Is made of nucleotides: Contains deoxyribose sugar

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

RNA is different than DNA in that it 1) is single stranded (DNA is double stranded), 2) contains uracil (DNA contains thymine instead), and 3) contains a ribose sugar (DNA contains a deoxyribose sugar). And since both DNA and RNA are made up of nucleotides, they will both contain phosphates.

Answer 2
