Determine whether each of the following is a characteristic of DNA, RNA, or both. Is single-stranded:
Contains nitrogenous bases:
Contains uracil:
Contains adenine:
Is double-stranded:
Is made of nucleotides:
Contains deoxyribose sugar:
DONE

Is single-stranded: RNA

Contains uracil: RNA

Contains adenine: both

Is made of nucleotides: both

Contains deoxyribose sugar: DNA

Explanation:

Both DNA and RNA are made from nucleotides, each containing a five-carbon sugar backbone, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base. DNA provides the code for the cell's activities, while RNA converts that code into proteins to carry out cellular functions.
