Answer 1

The true statement is:

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

The other statements are incorrect for the following reasons:

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