Question
Biology Question on the molecular basis of inheritance
Similarity in DNA and RNA:
A
Both are polymer of nucleotides
B
Both have similar pyrimidine
C
Both have similar sugar
D
Both are genetic material
Answer
Both are polymer of nucleotides
Explanation
Solution
The similarity between DNA and RNA includes both being polymers of nucleotides and having similar sugar molecules (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA). They are both genetic material, but RNA is usually single-stranded and has uracil as a pyrimidine base instead of thymine, which is found in DNA.
So, the correct option is (A): Both are polymer of nucleotides
