No, DNA does not have a 2' OH group in its structure.
RNA has a 2' OH group because it helps stabilize the molecule's structure and allows for flexibility in folding, which is important for its various functions in gene expression and protein synthesis.
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)
Watson and Crick asked two key questions in their quest to unravel the structure of DNA: 1) What is the three-dimensional structure of DNA? and 2) How does DNA replicate to transmit genetic information? They answered these questions by proposing the double helix structure of DNA and elucidating the mechanism of DNA replication.
Deoxyribose is a component of DNA which lacks -OH (alcohol group) on the 2' carbon ring Ribose is a component of RNA which contains -OH group on the 2" carbon ring The main difference between the two is that ribose has an oxygen atom attached to carbon 2.
James Watson and Francis Crick are the two scientists credited with developing the structure of the double helix of DNA in 1953.
The structure with a "H" atom in place of an "OH" group represents deoxyribose in the DNA backbone. This is because deoxyribose lacks an oxygen atom at the 2' position, distinguishing it from ribose in RNA.
The main difference is the presence of a hydroxyl (-OH) group on the 2' carbon of the ribose sugar in ribonucleotides, whereas deoxyribonucleotides lack this hydroxyl group. This small difference affects the stability and structure of RNA and DNA molecules. Ribonucleotides are used for RNA synthesis while deoxyribonucleotides are used for DNA synthesis.

1)There are 2 alcohol groups (-OH) 2) An Aromatic group (cyclo) 3) An amine group (CH2-NH2).
Ribose and deoxyribose are both sugars. They have identical chemical structure except that ribose has a hydroxyl group (OH) on carbon 2, while deoxyribose is without an oxygen on carbon 2 (H). Ribose is the sugar component of the structure of RNA (ribonucleic acid) and deoxyribose is the sugar component in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
Yes DNA has deoxy-ribose sugar in their backbone (hence they are Deoxy ribo Nucleic Acids). whereas, RNA has the oxyribose sugar where the 2'-OH group intact.
A sugar group in RNA refers to the ribose sugar molecule that forms the backbone of the RNA molecule. It is a crucial component that helps make up the structure of RNA, along with the phosphate group and nitrogenous bases. The ribose sugar in RNA differs from the deoxyribose sugar in DNA by having an extra hydroxyl (-OH) group.
James Watson and Francis Crick elucidated the structure of DNA.

CH3CH2CH2CH(OH)CH3 is 2-pentanol and CH3COOH is ethanoic acid
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)
The chemical structure CH₃-C-CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃O represents a long-chain alcohol known as 2-heptyl alcohol. The "C" in the structure indicates a carbon atom that is connected to a hydroxyl group (-OH), making it an alcohol. The compound has a total of 8 carbon atoms and is categorized under primary alcohols due to the position of the -OH group. Its IUPAC name is 2-heptyl alcohol, reflecting its structure and functional group.
