ANSWER:

D. Number of strands

(Pretty sure, sorry if I'm wrong.)

The type of purine base is similar between RNA and DNA.

RNA and DNA:

  • RNA and DNA are short forms of ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid respectively. They are both types of nucleic acids.

  • RNA and DNA are structurally different from one another. Their structural differences are as follows:

  1. RNA contains ribose sugar while DNA contains deoxyribose sugar.
  2. RNA is single stranded while DNA is double stranded.
  3. RNA contains Uracil base (pyrimidine) while DNA contains Thymine (pyrimidine).

  • However, they are both similar in that they can both possess Adenine and Guanine, which are both purine bases.

  • Therefore, the type of purine base is similar between RNA and DNA.
