Which statement describes one way that rna differs from dna? one is a protein, and the other is a nucleic acid. they contain different five-carbon sugars and a different nitrogenous base. they are both carbohydrates, but one is a polysaccharide. one provides energy, and the other carries genetic information.

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.

that is true   : ) hope this you

an individual’s sex (i.e., whether they are a male or female) is determined by the sex chromosomes. most people have two sex chromosomes, one that is inherited from their mother and one that is inherited from their father. typically, females have two x chromosomes (xx) and males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy). conditions caused by changes (“mutations”) in genes located on the x chromosome are considered x-linked.

x-linked recessive inheritance

most x-linked conditions are recessive. this means that in a person with two x chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each x chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one x chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. a female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the x chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an x-linked condition. a male with a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome is typically affected with the condition. because females have two copies of the x chromosome and males have only one x chromosome, x-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. however, x-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females.

for x-linked recessive disorders, an unaffected carrier mother who has a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome can transmit either the x chromosome with this mutation or a “normal” x chromosome to her children. if the father is unaffected, none of her daughters will be affected and all of her daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal x chromosome from their father. however, each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier like her mother and a 50% chance of both x chromosomes being normal.
