There are two answers:
Ribose makes sugar phosphate backbone reactive. Thus, branching could occur since both the 2 prime and 3 prime positions can be involved in phosphodiester bonds.
Deoxyribose makes DNA much more stable at high pH, RNA is alkaline (unstable).
The difference in the structure of the DNA and RNA is quite literally a single oxygen atom, missing from the deoxyribose. However, this is all the difference it needs, as it prevents RNA from forming the double-helix structure the DNA is known for.
Deoxyribose is another term for the sugar used in the backbone of the DNA molecule. A nucleic acid is a macromolecule. It means its composed of chains of monomeric nucleotides.
It has 5 carbon atoms therefore is called a 'pen'tose. Same thing with glucose - that has 6 carbons and so is called a 'hex'ose sugar.
Deoxyribose is a modified ribose molecule that has had one of its oxygen atoms replaced with hydrogen, leaving it with one less oxygen atom.
The sugar is a deoxyribose because it is a Ribose sugar, but it is missing oxygen. Hence, Deoxy, meaning, without oxygen, ribose.
Deoxyribose.
Yes. The pentose sugar in DNA is the deoxyribose.
because the sugar have one oxygen less
DNA contains deoxyribose sugar and it helps in transferring genes .
DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose.
Deoxyribose is the sugar that is a main component in DNA. In fact, the "D" in DNA stands for deoxyribose.
The sugar found in the backbone of DNA is the deoxyribose.
Deoxyribose sugar. Does not have an oxygen at the 2' carbon.
Deoxyribose sugar, it is a pentose sugar base.
Deoxyribose sugar, it is a pentose sugar base.
DNA has the deoxyribose sugar, while RNA has the ribose sugar.
The sugar that is found in DNA is called Deoxyribose
DNA contains deoxyribose sugar and it helps in transferring genes .
DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose.
Yes,there are deoxyribose sugar in DNA.D stands for it in DNA.
Deoxyribose is the sugar that is a main component in DNA. In fact, the "D" in DNA stands for deoxyribose.
Deoxyribose is found in DNA while ribose is found in RNA.
The sugar found in the backbone of DNA is the deoxyribose.
Deoxyribose
The phosphate and deoxyribose in the backbone of DNA are constant throughout the molecule.
