SELECT ALL that is TRUE about RNA

Question

RNA is single stranded
RNA is double stranded
RNA is made of Ribose sugar
Uracil pairs with Adenine
Adenine pairs with Thymine
RNA is found in the nucleus and cytoplasm

Answer 1

The following statements about RNA are TRUE:

1. RNA is single stranded - True. RNA is typically single-stranded, although some viruses have double-stranded RNA.

2. RNA is double stranded - False. While RNA can form double-stranded structures, it is primarily single-stranded.

3. RNA is made of Ribose sugar - True. RNA contains ribose sugar, whereas DNA contains deoxyribose sugar.

4. Uracil pairs with Adenine - True. In RNA, uracil (U) pairs with adenine (A) during base pairing.

5. Adenine pairs with Thymine - False. Adenine pairs with uracil in RNA; adenine pairs with thymine in DNA.

6. RNA is found in the nucleus and cytoplasm - True. RNA can be found in both the nucleus (where it is synthesized) and the cytoplasm (where it functions in protein synthesis).

In summary, the true statements are:

• RNA is single stranded
• RNA is made of Ribose sugar
• Uracil pairs with Adenine
• RNA is found in the nucleus and cytoplasm
