Best Answer

The sugar in all RNA is ribose.

RNA stands for ribonucleic acid. The "ribo-" part refers to the pentose (five-carbon) sugar ribose.

What does the mRNA contain?

pre mRNA contains the same things as mRNA - phosphates -uracil, adenine, guanine, cytosine -ribose sugar -hydrogen bonds -covalent bonds -GTP cap -Poly A tail However, pre mRNA is different because it still contains introns and exons, while mRNA only contains exons introns code for things which are no longer expressed as traits, and therefore are not translated, they are instead removed by splicesomes exons code for the traits expressed and therefore are not removed and are expressed
