Answer:
The correct statement is - they contain different five-carbon sugars and a different nitrogenous base.
Explanation:
DNA or deoxyribose nucleic acid and RNA or ribose nucleic acid both are nucleic acids almost similar structurally, however, there are few fundamental differences in them.
DNA has double-stranded nucleic acid while RNA has a single-stranded.
RNA has ribose pentose sugar while DNA has a deoxyribose sugar.
RNA nucleotides have a uracil nitrogen base while DNA has thymine.
Thus, the correct statement is that they contain different five-carbon sugars and a different nitrogenous base.
