Question

a venn diagram can be used to compare and contrast nucleic acids.
rna
a
b
dna
c
which characteristic would be correctly found in b?
contain ribose
consist of two strands
made of nucleotides
have an r group

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Venn Diagram Region B

Region B is the intersection of RNA and DNA, so it represents characteristics common to both.

Step2: Evaluate Each Option

• "contain ribose": Only RNA has ribose (DNA has deoxyribose), so not common.
• "consist of two strands": Only DNA is double - stranded (RNA is usually single - stranded), so not common.
• "made of nucleotides": Both RNA and DNA are nucleic acids made of nucleotides. This is a common characteristic.
• "have an R group": Amino acids have R groups, not nucleic acids.

Answer:

made of nucleotides
