A researcher compares two nucleic acid polymers. Polymer X contains ribose sugars and includes uracil among its nitrogenous bases. Polymer Y contains deoxyribose sugars and includes thymine. Both polymers can form complementary base pairs via hydrogen bonding. Which statement best describes how a specific structural difference between X and Y influences their chemical stability at the molecular level?
