RNA stands for Ribonucleus Acid
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -RNA, abbreviation of ribonucleic acid, complex compound of high molecular weight that functions in cellular protein synthesis and replaces DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) as a carrier of genetic codes in some viruses.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a molecule that is present in the majority of living organisms and viruses. It is made up of nucleotides, which are ribose sugars attached to nitrogenous bases and phosphate groups. The nitrogenous bases include adenine, guanine, uracil, and cytosine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Deoxyribonucleic acid (abbreviated DNA) is the molecule that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism. DNA is made of two linked strands that wind around each other to resemble a twisted ladder-a shape known as a double helix.

Detailed explanation-4: -The sugar component in RNA is ribose and the sugar component in DNA is 2-deoxyribose. The sugar component in RNA is arabinose and the sugar component in DNA is ribose.
