B) carries information from DNA for synthesis of a protein
C) molecules contain an anticodon
D) contains the nucleotide thymine

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

rRNA combines with specific proteins to form ribosomes, which are responsible for protein synthesis. This is a unique and exclusive property of rRNA.

Answer: D
 rRNA does not contain thymine; it contains uracil instead. Thymine is only found in DNA, not in RNA. Therefore, this property is not exclusive to rRNA.

Choices B and C are not exclusive to rRNA either. mRNA carries information from DNA for protein synthesis, and tRNA contains an anticodon that matches a codon on the mRNA, allowing for specific amino acid insertion during protein synthesis.
