MCQ On Biochemistr2

The document contains a 15 question multiple choice quiz on RNA and its properties. Some key points covered are: - RNA can serve as the genetic material in some viruses and prokaryotes. - RNA is typically single-stranded and contains the sugar ribose rather than deoxyribose. - Nucleotides in RNA are joined by 3'-5' phosphodiester bonds. - Thymine in DNA is replaced by uracil in RNA. - The most abundant type of RNA in cells is rRNA and tRNA serves as an adaptor molecule in protein synthesis.
