The true statement is:
DNA has the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA has the sugar ribose.
The other statements are incorrect. 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 refers to the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA, while transcription is the process of copying DNA into mRNA.
