검증된 단계별 안내1
Understand that DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is composed of nucleotides, each containing a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
Recall that the sugar in DNA is a five-carbon sugar, also known as a pentose sugar.
Differentiate between the sugars found in nucleic acids: RNA contains ribose, while DNA contains a modified sugar called 2-deoxyribose.
Recognize that 2-deoxyribose differs from ribose by lacking an oxygen atom on the 2' carbon, which is why it is called 'deoxy'.
Conclude that the sugar found in DNA is 2-deoxyribose, not ribose, fructose, or glucose.
