One of the major differences between DNA and RNA is that ____________
A. DNA is made of ribose sugars and double stranded unlike RNA B. DNA is made of ribose sugar and single stranded unlike RNA C. RNA is made of ribose sugar and double stranded like DNA D. RNA is made of ribose sugar and single stranded unlike DNA
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
The following differences exist between RNA \& DNA: (1) DNA is double stranded while RNA is a single strand (2) DNA contains deoxyribose sugar while RNA contains ribose sugar (3) DNA has the base thymine but not uracil while RNA has the base uracil but not thymine (4) DNA is self replicating, RNA is copied from DNA, so it is not self replicating
