What did Chargaff discover while studying bases in the DNA of organisms?

A
The bases in the DNA of each organism were unique.
B
The ratios of thymine and adenine were similar, as were the ratios of guanine and cytosine.
C
The overall percentages of bases were different from one organism to the next.

7

Which base is found only in RNA?

A
ribose
B
thymine
C
uracil
D
deoxyribose
8

Why can uracil be used as a “clue” to identify RNA in a strand?

A
Because uracil is found in both DNA and RNA.
B
Because uracil indicates a damaged DNA strand.
C
Because uracil is always paired with thymine.
