Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the statement "The mRNA is a polymer of ribonucleosides" is true or false, we can break it down step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding mRNA**: mRNA, or messenger RNA, is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized. 2. **Defining Ribonucleosides**: Ribonucleosides are molecules that consist of a ribose sugar and a nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, cytosine, or uracil). They do not contain a phosphate group. ...
