Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An RNA molecule is
A
double helix
B
always double stranded
C
usually double stranded
D
single stranded
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike DNA, however, RNA is most often single-stranded. An RNA molecule has a backbone made of alternating phosphate groups and the sugar ribose, rather than the deoxyribose found in DNA. Attached to each sugar is one of four bases: adenine (A), uracil (U), cytosine (C) or guanine (G).

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA is generally double-stranded and RNA is generally single-stranded (though both can exist in either form). Prokaryotes contain both DNA and RNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. Messenger RNA (abbreviated mRNA) is a type of single-stranded RNA involved in protein synthesis. mRNA is made from a DNA template during the process of transcription.
