Structurally, dna and rna nucleotides are similar, although their three basic components differ slightly. one way dna and rna differ is in their a) phosphate groups. b) number of base pairs. c) type of 5-carbon sugars. d) number of nitrogen bases.

The correct answer is- C) Type of 5-carbon sugars.

Nucleic acid is a complex organic material, which is considered as one of the major macromolecules, essential for the survival of the life forms. It includes DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA ( ribonucleic acid), which are made up of small units called nucleotide.

A nucleotide is composed of three parts that are-

phosphate group, pentose sugar ( 5 carbon sugar, which is deoxyribose in case of DNA and ribose in case of RNA), and a nitrogenous base ( A, T, G, and C in case of DNA whereas A, U, G, and C in RNA).

Thus, option C) is the right answer.

1. loamy sand is about 80% sand with 10% clay and defined mostly by sand particles with some clay to provide structure and fertility. the sand particles are easily visible and the soil holds structure but breaks apart easily.

2. scott sand can improve his soil quality by incorporating more silt and organic matter into the soil. peat moss and organic matter can also be incorporated.
