Solution Steps

Step 1: Identifying the sugar

The pentose sugar in the backbone of the nucleotide strand is ribose, identifiable by the presence of a hydroxyl (-OH) group on the 2' carbon. DNA would have deoxyribose, lacking this 2' hydroxyl group.

Step 2: Identifying the molecule

Since the sugar is ribose, this indicates the molecule is RNA.

Final Answer
