Which statement about this diagram is correct?

A. Molecule 1 is RNA, which contains thymine.
B. Molecule 2 is RNA, and it is the only nucleic acid that contains four types of bases.
C. Molecule 1 is DNA, which is a double helix.
D. Molecule 2 is DNA, which can bond with another DNA molecule.

Which statement about this diagram is correct A Molecule 1 is RNA which contains thymine B Molecule 2 is RNA and it is the only nucleic acid that contains four class=

Uracil is only in RNA and Thymine is only in DNA, therefore, molecule 1 is DNA and molecule two is RNA. That fact eliminates A) and D).
Molecule 1 is DNA, and a double helix, so the answer is C.

The nucleic acids are the molecules that act as the base of genetic material and is very crucial for passing genetic data.

The statement which is correct for the diagram is:

Option C. Molecule 1 is DNA, which is a double helix.

This can be explained as:

  • Option A is incorrect as ribonucleic acid (RNA) is not a double-helical structure.

  • Option B is also untrue as RNA is not only a molecule that has four types of nucleotide bases. DNA also has four types of bases.

  • Option D again is inaccurate as DNA is a double helix and also does not have Uracil as a nitrogenous base.

Therefore, the third statement is correct.
