Question

What are two distinguishing features of RNA?

a)RNA forms a double helix of reverse complementary strands.
b)RNA contains phophodiester bonds as part of its sugar backbone.
c)RNA contains a methylated form of thymine.
d)RNA has a ribose sugar and uracil nitrogenous base.
e)RNA contains a pyrophosphate group bound to the ribose.

Answer 1

The correct answer will be option-D

Step-by-step explanation:

RNA or ribonucleic acid is the nucleic acid which was formed in the primordial time. The RNA molecule acts as an enzyme called ribozyme and also acts as the genetic material of a few viruses.

The RNA is composed of nucleotide monomer where each nucleotide is made of a ribose sugar, a phosphate group and the nitrogenous base adenine, uracil, cytosine and guanine.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.
