Read the passage carefully and answer the questions:
Optically active polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones or molecules which provide such units on hydrolysis are called carbohydrates. They can be broadly classified as monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides depending on their behavior towards hydrolysis. They are also classified as reducing or non-reducing sugars. Another class of biomolecules is proteins which are polymers of twenty different amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Amino acids can be classified as acidic, basic or neutral depending on the relative number of amino and carboxyl groups in their
molecule. The essential amino acids cannot be synthesized by our body and hence must be provided through diet. Nucleic acids are the polymers of nucleotides which in turn consist of a base, pentose sugar and phosphate. There are two types of nucleic acids namely, DNA and RNA which differ in the composition of sugar and a base
The sugar moiety in DNA and RNA molecules, respectively, are
- A \(\beta\)-D-ribose and \(\beta\)-D-3-deoxyribose
- B \(\beta\)-D-ribose and \(\beta\)-D-2-deoxyribose
- C \(\beta\)-D-2-deoxyribose and \(\beta\)-D-ribose
- D \(\beta\)-D-3-deoxyribose and \(\beta\)-D-ribose
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\beta\)-D-2-deoxyribose and \(\beta\)-D-ribose
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The sugar moiety in DNA is \(\beta\)-D-2-deoxyribose. The sugar moiety in RNA is \(\beta\)-D-ribose. Therefore, the sugar moieties in DNA and RNA molecules, respectively, are \(\beta\)-D-2-deoxyribose and \(\beta\)-D-ribose.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:CUET 2025 Medium - p-block elements are placed in groups 13 to 18 of the periodic table. Group 15 is nitrogen family. Nitrogen makes various compounds like \(NH _3, HNO _3, N_2 O , NO _2\) etc. Phosphorus exists in the form of white and red phosphorus. White phosphorus glows in dark. \(PH _3\) gas is used as smoke screen. Group 16 is called oxygen family. Dry air contains \(21\% O _2\) gas by volume. Combined sulphur exists as sulphates such as gypsum, epsome salt, baryte etc. The allotropic forms of sulphur are Rhombic and monoclinic sulphur. \(S_2\) is paramagnetic like \(O_2\) and it stable at high temperature.
Group 17 is Halogen family. \(F_2\) is highly reactive, \(C l_2\) is greenish yellow gas. Both \(S O_2\) and \(C l_2\) are used for bleaching. Group 18 is Noble gas family but some noble gases also form compounds.
