No it's called a De-oxyribose suagr, as in DNA there is one less oxygen atom than in an RNA ribose. So for RNA it's ribose, for DNA it's De-oxyribose

What is the name of the sugar in mRNA nucleotides?
ribose
Nucleotides are made of a sugar called what?
That depends on what nucleic acid you're referring to. In the case of DNA, the sugar will be deoxyribose. In the case of RNA, the sugar will be ribose.
What are nucleic acids chains made of?
A phosphate group and a ribose sugar [or deoxyribose sugar] backbone; and a nitrogenous base.
What is the name of sugar present in tRNA nucleotides?
The sugar present in RNA (including tRNA AND mRNA) is Ribose sugar.
What does nucleotides carry?
For example ATP is a nucleotide that carries Adenine (nitrogenic base), ribose sugar and triphosphate. Hence they are called as adenosine tri phosphate.
Is the 5 carbon sugar in DNA nucleotides called a ribose?
It is true, RNA nucleotides contain the five-carbon sugar ribose.
What is the name of the sugar in mRNA nucleotides?
ribose
Nucleotides contain which sugars?
DNA is composed of deoxy ribose nucleotide (containing deoxy ribose sugars). Deoxy ribose sugar lacks an OH group at the 2' position RNA is composed of ribose nucleotides (containing ribose sugar)

What is the backbone of DNA and RNA?
The backbone of DNA is made up of deoxyribose, a sugar, and are linked together by phosphodiester bonds. RNA is similar but the sugar is called ribose.
What does nucleotides carry?
For example ATP is a nucleotide that carries Adenine (nitrogenic base), ribose sugar and triphosphate. Hence they are called as adenosine tri phosphate.
Name of sugar in RNA?
The pentose sugar in RNA is called RIBOSE
Do DNA and RNA have the same nucleotides?
Yes, except uracil substitutes for thymine in RNA.
Sugar on RNA?
The sugar that is part of a nucleotide is a 5-carbon atom sugar in its ring form. It will either be ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA. The "deoxy" simply means that the ribose molecule has lost an oxygen. That missing oxygen happens to be from the second carbon, so the more correct name for deoxyribose is 2-deoxyribose.
What are the sub units DNA is made of?
DNA and RNA are polymers composed of nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of a 5-carbon sugar, a nitrogen base, and a phosphate group covalently bonded together. The 5-carbon sugar in a DNA nucleotide is deoxyribose, and the 5-carbon sugar in RNA is ribose.
