Question

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

Explanation:

• Contain ribose: RNA contains ribose, DNA contains deoxyribose. So this is a characteristic of RNA only (A region).
• Consist of two strands: DNA is double - stranded, while RNA is usually single - stranded. So this is a characteristic of DNA only (C region).
• Made of nucleotides: Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids. Nucleic acids are polymers made up of nucleotide monomers. So this is a common characteristic (B region).
• Have an R group: R groups are part of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins), not nucleic acids.

Answer:

made of nucleotides
