Structural Differences Between RNA and DNA — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptIn RNA, every nucleotide residue has an additional -OH group present at 2'-position in the ribose. Also, in RNA the uracil is found at the place of thymine (5-methyl uracil, another chemical name for thymine).
Match the following features in Column I with the correct nucleic acid in Column II. Column I (Feature) A. Contains an additional -OH group at 2′-position of ribose B. Possesses thymine at the place of uracil C. Functions as the genetic material in the majority of organisms D. Known to exhibit catalytic activity (ribozyme) E. Exhibits a faster mutation rate due to inherent instability Column II (Nucleic Acid) I. DNA II. RNA
