Q: DNA differs from RNA because DNA A. includes lipid monomers B. has pentose sugars C. contains all genetic information D. contains uracil in place of thymine

DNA has thymine which binds to adenine, A binds to T.
RNA is a single strand and has uracil vs. thymine which binds to adenine in an A to U binding when DNA is being copied. DNA does have all of the genetic information but D is more specific as to the difference. I would say that is what the question was looking for.
Hope this helps.

The correct answer is C - DNA contains all genetic information. Your DNA (the nucleotide sequence) contains all of the genetic information for your entire body. DNA can be read like an instruction manual or blueprint of your body.
Human RNA sequences are copies of short pieces or segments of DNA. Each RNA sequence is the code for a different protein. So one RNA sequence might create the pigment in your iris, while another might create your hair, while another might create a molecule that digests what you eat. RNA only contains the information necessary to create ONE protein; DNA contains ALL of your genetic information.

Again I am not expert but I think that the answer is D however it is written in the wrong order. By this I mean that in DNA Uracil is replace by thymine.
