Question
Following are some statements about the structural features of nucleic acids. Identify whether the statement refers to DNA, to RNA, to both, or to neither by dragging the statement into the appropriate bin.
- In base composition, %A = %G
- Sometimes contains the nucleoside pseudouridine
- Secondary structure is primarily a double helix
- Bases are attached to sugars in a Beta-N-glycosidic linkage
- Sugars are connected with a 3'-5' phosphodiether link
- Contains the sugar 3'-deoxyribose
- Contains the sugar ribose
- Stable to Alkaline Hydrolysis - Can be Hydrolized in alkaline solution - In base composition %A=%T
Explanation / Answer
In base composition, %A = %G Neither
- Sometimes contains the nucleoside pseudouridine RNA

- Sugars are connected with a 3'-5' phosphodiether link Neither
- Contains the sugar 3'-deoxyribose neither
- Contains the sugar ribose RNA
- Stable to Alkaline Hydrolysis DNA
- Can be Hydrolized in alkaline solution RNA
- In base composition %A=%T DNA
