A strand of nucleotidesz;p0w3 )odcja reads CCUAGAGCUUACCG;y1/v va1uep - +- q: urgr3renecq/um. Which type of pentose sugar could be found in the nucleotides in this -e1e/v1q +cgruarrm/n y p3vueq;:u - strand?
A. Deoxyribose only
B. Ribose only
C. Both deoxyribose and ribose
D. Neither deoxyribose nor ribose
参考答案: B
本题详细解析:
The nucleotide strand CCUAGAGCUUACy,vp: .vz q1mdCG contains the bases cytosine (C), uracil (U), adenine (A), and guanine (G). While C, A, and G are found in both DNp1qvz.m,:v dyA and RNA, the base uracil is only found in RNA. So, the strand is an RNA strand.RNA contains the pentose sugar ribose. Therefore, ribose is found in the nucleotides in the strand.Choices A and C are incorrect because deoxyribose is only found in DNA, not RNA. The nucleotide strand cannot be DNA because it contains uracil in place of thymine (T).Choice D is incorrect because the strand is RNA which contains ribose.
