Q: RNA is a polymeric molecule. What does RNA stand for?
  • A. Rado Nuclear Acid
  • B. Ribo Nucleic Acid
  • C. Rhino Nuclear Acid
  • D. Resto Nucleus Acid
Correct Answer: Option B - RNA stands for Ribonucleic acid i.e. a polymeric molecule essential in various biological roles in coding, decoding, regulation and expression of genes, RNA and DNA are nucleic acid. RNA contain ribose sugar while DNA contains deoxyribose sugar. DNA is double stranded while RNA is single stranded molecule. DNA is stable under alkaline conditions, while RNA is not stable.
