RNA is Characterized by Which One of the Following Features

Question

RNA is characterized by which one of the following features?
A) Deoxyribose
B) Thymine
C) Ribose
D) Double-stranded
E) All of the answer choices are correct.

Accepted Answer

RNA is characterized by ribose, which is a sugar molecule that makes up RNA's backbone. Deoxyribose (A) is a sugar molecule that makes up DNA's backbone. Thymine (B) is a nitrogenous base found in DNA, but not RNA. RNA is typically single-stranded, not double-stranded (D). Thus, only choice C is correct.
