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 incorrect. Specifically, thymine is only present in DNA, but cytosine is found in both DNA and RNA. DNA is typically double-stranded, while RNA is usually single-stranded. Additionally, transcription copies DNA to mRNA, while translation converts mRNA into proteins.
