3)They are both carbohydrates, but one is a polysaccharide.
4)One provides energy, and the other carries genetic information.

Answered by admin @


The correct option is 2. Both DNA and RNA are nucleotides found in living organisms. But they are made up of different types of sugars and nitrogenous bases. DNA is made up of deoxy ribose sugar, cytosine, adenine, guanine and thymine while the RNA is made up of ribose sugar, uracil, adenine, guanine and cytosine.
