When RNA is hydrolysed, there is no relatonship among the quantities of different bases obtained. What does this fact suggest about the structure of RNA?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since there is no relationship among the quantities of different bases obtained by hydolysis of RNA, it suggests that the base-pairing principle, i.e., adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U) and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G) is not followed. So RNA does no exist in the form of double strand but it has a single strand.
