Alvin is studying a model of the chemical structure of a common nucleic acid. He observes that the nucleic acid consists of four

nitrogenous
bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and uracil (U).

Alvin's observation most strongly supports which of these conclusions?

A. The nucleic acid is a form of RNA, and is not DNA.

<h2>A) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

  • RNA is a linear polymer of ribonucleotides
  • Sugar in RNA is ribose instead of deoxyribose which is present in DNA
  • The four nitrogenous bases present in RNA are adenine, cytosine, guanine and uracil whereas that in DNA are adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine
  • RNA molecules carry genetic information from DNA to proteins, cannot transmit from one generation to next generation as a genetic material
  • Due to steric hindrance by the 2'-OH group of ribose sugar, RNA unable to form double helix

Answer:

(A): DNA and protein

(B): The case for proteins appeared stronger until the 1940s, especially since biochemists had identified them as a class of macromolecules with great heterogeneity and function specificity, essential requirements for the hereditary material. Moreover, little was known about nucleic acids, the physical and chemical properties of which seemed far too uniform to account for the multitude of specific hereditary traits of each organism

(C): Virulent strains are pathogenic (causing disease), whereas non-virulent strains are non-pathogenic (harmless) strains.
