Linnea · Answer 1

The correct answer is option E. ribose and uracil.

Explanation:

RNA and DNA both are the types of nucleic acid that are composed of the nucleotide monomers that have 3 components; a phosphate group, 5 carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base made up of purine and pyrimidines.

RNA and DNA have two major differences that are RNA has ribose sugar whereas DNA has deoxyribose sugar. The other difference is one of the nitrogenous bases which is uracil.

Thus, the correct answer is the option E. ribose and uracil.

Skyler Huffman · Answer 2

(E) ribose AND uracil

Explanation:

RNA (ribonucleic acid) contains ribose sugar and Uracil.

While DNA (Deoxyribonucleic) contain deoxyribose suagr and thymine instead of uracil.

Components of RNA are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

While Components of DNA are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.
