Both human DNA and RNA are chiral molecules. The chirality in DNA and RNA arises due to the presence of

  1. L-sugar component
  2. D-sugar component
  3. Chiral phosphate unit
  4. Base unit

Answer

(2) D-sugar component

Solution

As per NCERT, the sugar in RNA is β-D-ribose and in DNA is β-D-2-deoxyribose.

These sugars contain chiral carbon atoms, whereas the phosphate group and the nitrogenous bases are achiral.

Chirality of DNA and RNA arises from the D-sugar component.
