Answer 1

The true statement is:

DNA has the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA has the sugar ribose.

The other statements are false for the following reasons:

• DNA is double-stranded, while RNA is typically single-stranded.
• Transcription copies DNA to mRNA, while translation converts mRNA into proteins.
• Thymine is only present in DNA, whereas cytosine is present in both DNA and RNA.
