Which is true of both DNA and RNA

Biology
1 answer:
maxonik [38]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

C. They contain sugars, phosphate, and nitrogenous bases

Explanation:

A. is wrong because only RNA is made up of single strands of nucleotides, while DNA is a double-stranded helix.

B. is wrong because DNA and RNA are examples of nucleic acids, not carbohydrates

D. is wrong because only RNA contains uracil, while DNA has thymine instead of uracil.

C. is correct because both DNA and RNA have sugar-phosphate backbones and nitrogenous bases. The difference between RNA and DNA is seen in their names--deoxyribo nucleic acid (DNA) vs. ribo nucleic acid (RNA). Ribose is a type of sugar, the same as found in RNA, while deoxyribose (in DNA) is the same except for not having an oxygen atom on the 2' Carbon (de-oxy = without oxygen).

nalin [4]
Bacteria
Nitrogen fixing bacteria are those that convert atmospheric nitrogen to different nitrogenous ions and add them to the soil. These bacteria may either be free living in the soil, or they may develop a mutualistic relationship with some organisms, such as the nitrogen fixing bacteria that live in the root nodules of leguminous plants. An example of a genus of nitrogen fixing bacteria is the genus Azotobacter.
