Vedclass · Answer

(D) nucleoside consists of a nitrogenous base attached to a pentose sugar. In $RNA$,the pentose sugar is ribose,which has a hydroxyl $(-OH)$ group at both the $2'$ and $3'$ positions. $RNA$ contains the nitrogenous bases Adenine $(A)$,Guanine $(G)$,Cytosine $(C)$,and Uracil $(U)$. Thymine $(T)$ is found in $DNA$,not $RNA$. Looking at the options: Option $A$ has $T$ (Thymine),which is characteristic of $DNA$. Option $B$ and $C$ show a deoxyribose sugar (missing the $-OH$ group at the $2'$ position),which is characteristic of $DNA$. Option $D$ shows a ribose sugar (with $-OH$ groups at both $2'$ and $3'$ positions) attached to Uracil $(U)$,which is a characteristic nucleoside of $RNA$ (Uridine).

Which of the following represents a nucleoside of $RNA$?
