Which of the following is a key structural difference between DNA and RNA?
A
DNA is typically double-stranded, while RNA is typically single-stranded.
B
DNA contains uracil, while RNA contains thymine.
C
DNA contains the sugar ribose, while RNA contains the sugar deoxyribose.
D

Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the structural components of DNA and RNA, focusing on the strands, sugars, and nitrogenous bases.
Understand that DNA is typically double-stranded, forming a double helix, while RNA is usually single-stranded.
Recognize the difference in sugars: DNA contains deoxyribose, while RNA contains ribose.
Differentiate between the nitrogenous bases: DNA contains thymine, whereas RNA contains uracil.
Clarify the cellular locations: DNA is primarily found in the nucleus, while RNA can be found in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
