RNA and DNA are chiral molecules, their chirality is due to

A

L- sugar component

B

Chiral bases

C

Chiral phosphate ester units

D

D- sugar Component

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
RNA and DNA bases, Adenine Guanine, Cytosine , Thymine, and Uracil do not contains chiral carbon. Phosphate ester units are also do not contain chiral carbon. Only D-sugar elements contain chiral carbon.
