Difference between Ribose in RNA and Deoxyribose in DNA
Ribose has an extra OH in place where deoxyribose has H
Pyrimidines
Cytosine, Uracil, Thymine
True or False Uracil and Cytosine are nitrogenous bases within RNA
False
Purines
Guanine and Adenine
True or False Purines are larger than pyramidines
True
Purines are bigger than Pyrimidines due to:
