Best Answer: 4) RNA contains ribose, DNA does not. DNA contain the deoxyribose sugar. Other differences may include; DNA is double stranded while RNA is single stranded. DNA contain the base thymine while RNA contain the base Uracil in place of thymine.
The deoxyribose sugar of the DNA backbone has 5 carbons and 3 oxygens. The carbon atoms are numbered 1', 2', 3', 4', and 5' to distinguish from the numbering of the atoms of the purine and pyrmidine rings. The hydroxyl groups on the 5'- and 3'- carbons link to the phosphate groups to form the DNA backbone. Deoxyribose lacks an hydroxyl group at the 2'-position when compared to ribose, the sugar component of RNA. Nucleosides and Nucleotides. A nucleoside is one of the four DNA bases covalently attached to the C1' position of a sugar.
