DNA and RNA, both are types of nucleic acids. Figure out the correct statements concerning DNA and RNA from below.
I. Adenine and guanine are bases that have a double ring structure; cytosine, thymine, and uracil are bases with a single ring structure.
II. An adenine nucleotide from DNA is the same as an adenine nucleotide from RNA; in DNA, adenine pairs with uracil, and in RNA adenine pairs with thymine.
III. The base pairing that occurs in a double DNA helix and when RNA is synthesized during transcription, it follows the rule that a purine pairs with a pyrimidine.
IV. The two polynucleotide strands of a DNA molecule run in opposite directions so that the double helix formed has two strands that are anti-parallel to each other.
(a)I, II and III only
(b)I, II and IV only
(c)II, III and IV only
(d)I, III and IV only
