Question

O DNA and RNA are both double-stranded
• DNA has the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA has the sugar ribose.
• Thymine is only present in DNA, while cytosine is only present in RNA.
• Translation copies DNA to mRNA, while transcription converts mRNA into proteins.

Answer 1

The true statement is: DNA has the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA has the sugar ribose.

The other statements are false:

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