The correct statement regarding RNA and DNA, respectively is

  1. The sugar component in RNA is arabinose and the sugar component in DNA is ribose
  2. The sugar component in RNA is 2'-deoxyribose and the sugar component in DNA is arabinose
  3. The sugar component in RNA is arabinose and the sugar component in DNA is 2'-deoxyribose
  4. The sugar component in RNA is ribose and the sugar component in DNA is 2'-deoxyribose.

Answer

(4) The sugar component in RNA is ribose and the sugar component in DNA is 2'-deoxyribose.

Solution

As per NCERT, the sugar moiety in nucleic acids is a pentose (β-D-ribose or β-D-2-deoxyribose).

In RNA the sugar is β-D-ribose.

In DNA the sugar is β-D-2-deoxyribose (no –OH group at C-2′).

Arabinose is not present in either nucleic acid.

∴ RNA → ribose; DNA → 2′-deoxyribose.
