When RNA is hydrolysed the quantities of the four bases obtained are generally unequal, unlike DNA. What does this fact suggest about the structure of RNA?

Question

When RNA is hydrolysed the quantities of the four bases obtained are generally unequal, unlike DNA. What does this fact suggest about the structure of RNA? (A) A double strand helix (B) A single strand helix (C) An equal mixture of double and single strand helix (D) Unequal mixture of double and single strand

Hydrolysis of RNA gives unequal amount of four bases. This fact suggests that the structure of RNA is a single strand helix.

Q. When RNA is hydrolysed the quantities of the four bases obtained are generally unequal, unlike DNA. What does this fact suggest about the structure of RNA?

A double strand helix

A single strand helix

An equal mixture of double and single strand helix

Unequal mixture of double and single strand

Hydrolysis of RNA gives unequal amount of four bases. This fact suggests that the structure of RNA is a single strand helix.
