QAIPMT-2007-Ch-2326: NEET 2007 Chemistry - Class 12 AIPMT-2007-Ch-2326 Solution: RNA and DNA are chiral molecules, their chirality is due to
RNA and DNA are chiral molecules, their chirality is due to
Multiple Choice Options
- A chiral bases
- B chiral phosphate ester units
- C D-sugar component
- D L-sugar component
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Each nucleic acid consists of a pentose
sugar a heterocyclic base, and phosphoric acid.
The sugar present in DNA is -D (�) -2-deoxy
ribose and the sugar present in RNA is D (�)-
ribose. The chirality of DNA and RNA molecules
are due to the presence of sugar components.
