Question

multiple-choice question
which is not a way that rna is different from dna?

• is a nucleic acid instead of a carbohydro acid
• is single - stranded instead of double - stranded
• has ribose sugar instead of deoxyribose sugar
• has uracil instead of thymine

Explanation:

To determine which is NOT a difference between RNA and DNA, we analyze each option:

• RNA is single - stranded and DNA is double - stranded, so the "single - stranded vs double - stranded" option is a valid difference.
• RNA has ribose sugar and DNA has deoxyribose sugar, so the "ribose vs deoxyribose" option is a valid difference.
• RNA has uracil and DNA has thymine, so the "uracil vs thymine" option is a valid difference.
• Both RNA and DNA are nucleic acids (not carbonic acids), so the "nucleic acid instead of carbonic acid" option is incorrect as a difference (since neither is a carbonic acid).

Answer:

A. is a Nucleic Acid instead of a Carbonic Acid
