MCQ
$RNA$ and $DNA$ are chiral molecules, their chirality is due to
- A$L-$sugar component
- BChiral base
- CChiral phosphate units
- ✓$D-$ sugar component
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
$D-$ sugar component
d
The constituents of nucleic acids are nitrogenous bases, sugar, and phosphoric acid. The sugar present in $DNA$ is $D (-)-2-$-deoxyribose and the sugar present in $RNA$ is $D (-)$-ribose. Due to this $D (-)$-sugar components $DNA$ and $RNA$ molecules are chiral molecules.
