Which molecule has the sugar ribose?

DNA

RNA

Ribose is the five-carbon sugar used in RNA. In RNA, each nucleotide has ribose with a hydroxyl group at the 2' position. DNA uses deoxyribose, which lacks that 2' hydroxyl (it has hydrogen there). That difference in the sugar is what distinguishes the two nucleic acids, so the molecule that contains ribose is RNA.

Both DNA and RNA

Neither
