Question

guanine adenine uracil which sugar is present in the nucleic acid that is represented in the diagram?

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The diagram shows uracil (U), which is a nitrogen - containing base found only in RNA (ribonucleic acid). RNA contains ribose sugar. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) has thymine (T) instead of uracil and contains deoxyribose sugar. Since the diagram has uracil, the nucleic acid is RNA, and the sugar in RNA is ribose.

Answer:

Ribose
