Question

RNA is:

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RNA is a nucleic acid that is formed by copying (transcription) a portion of the genetic information stored in DNA. This results in a complementary copy of the DNA molecule, with the exception of the replacement of thymine (T) with uracil (U) in RNA. Therefore, RNA is not an exact copy of DNA, but a complementary copy of a single DNA strand.

Option A is incorrect because RNA is not an exact copy of DNA, despite sharing similar nucleotides.

Option C is incorrect because RNA is not a combination of many proteins, but a macromolecule composed of nucleotides.

Option D is incorrect because RNA is not the product of digesting DNA; rather, it is synthesized by RNA polymerase using a template strand of DNA.
