What aspect of the sugar is unique to RNA?
A. It contains a double ring base.
B. It can form a 3\' phosphodiester linkage.
C. It contains an OH group on the number 2’ carbon of the pentose sugar.
D. It contains a pentose sugar.
Solution
Solution:
(C) Nucleotides are mainly composed of nitrogenous bases and pentose sugar.RNA have some different features from DNA.In RNA,a hydroxyl group attached to the 2\' position of the sugar and uracil base replace thymine base present in DNA base pairing.DNA have four bases named as adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine and RNA bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.3\' carbon and 5\' carbon are linked by phosphodiester bond in both DNA and RNA.
