Question

complete the table to compare the structure of dna and rna.
table with columns: (blank), dna, rna; rows: is typically a single - stranded molecule, is typically a double - stranded molecule, contains the 5 - carbon sugar ribose, contains the 5 - carbon sugar deoxyribose; each cell has a checkbox

Explanation:

• Single - stranded vs Double - stranded: DNA has a double - helix (double - stranded) structure, while RNA is usually single - stranded.
• Sugar Component: DNA contains deoxyribose (lacks an oxygen atom on the 2' carbon of the ribose sugar), and RNA contains ribose (has an - OH group on the 2' carbon of the ribose sugar).

Answer:

	DNA	RNA
is typically a double - stranded molecule	√	×
contains the 5 - carbon sugar ribose	×	√
contains the 5 - carbon sugar deoxyribose	√	×
