MCQ on RNA Structure and Functions




RNA, or Ribonucleic Acid, is a molecule essential for various biological processes. It consists of a single strand of nucleotides, including adenine (A), uracil (U), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). RNA plays a central role in protein synthesis, gene expression, and carries genetic information in some viruses. This is an MCQ on RNA Structure and Functions.
