Which of the following is true of RNA, but not DNA?

1. RNA contains ribose
2. RNA contains adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine
3. RNA is usually double stranded
4. RNA is produced using complementary base pairing

Correct answer: RNA contains ribose

Solution

RNA differs from DNA in that it contains ribose sugar, while DNA contains deoxyribose. The other choices are incorrect because RNA uses uracil instead of thymine, is usually single-stranded, and both nucleic acids are made using complementary base pairing.
