    Choose the odd statement for RNA.

    A)  sugar moiety is ribose

    B)  uracil replaces thymine

    C)  single stranded

    D)  exclusive to viruses.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    : RNA is usually single stranded except in some viruses (e.g., reovirus), pentose sugar is ribose sugar, and nitrogen bases are adenine, guanine, uracil and cytosine. A little quantity of RNA is found in nucleus while a comparatively large quantity is found in cytoplasm. Usually RNA does not replicate but it acts as a genetic material in some of the viruses.
