Answer: This is largely because RNA is single-stranded. The correct option is D.

Explanation:

RNA ( Ribonucleic acid) is a single stranded nucleic acid which is composed of:

--> A nitrogenous base: RNA consists of four nitrogenous bases which includes adenine, cytosine, uracil, and guanine. Uracil is a pyrimidine that is structurally similar to the thymine, another pyrimidine that is found in DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid).

--> A five-carbon sugar: it contains ribose as its pentose sugar and

--> A phosphate group.

The main function of RNA is to convert the information stored in DNA into proteins.

RNA strand can undergo significant intramolecular base pairing to take on a three-dimensional structure. This is because it is single-stranded. This is due to the presence of a hydroxyl group at the 2' position of the ribose sugar. The presence of this functional group causes the helix to adopt the A-form geometry rather than the B-form most commonly observed in DNA.

What is 10 and 11 please
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

I believe number 10 would be B and number 11 would be D.

Explanation:

Energy travels from the sun to the producer which is like a plant of some sort. Then, the energy from the plant goes to the primary consumer which is the first set of consumers, in this example, it will be the minnow. Other consumers include secondary consumers, in this case the frog, quaternary consumers, like a snake that would eat the frog, and tertiary consumers, like an eagle that would eat the snake. Energy is passed to each organism from the organism before it in the food chain.
