DNA and RNA do not differ from each other in which of the following
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Nature of the backbone
DNA and RNA do not differ from each other in the nature of the backbone.
Reasoning:
-
Nature of sugar → Different (DNA has deoxyribose, RNA has ribose).
-
Nature of nitrogenous bases → Different (DNA has thymine, RNA has uracil).
-
Secondary structure → Different (DNA is double-stranded helix, RNA is usually single-stranded).
-
Nature of the backbone → Same in both: a sugar–phosphate backbone.
