When RNA is hydrolysed, there is no rela | Class 12 Chemistry Chapter Biomolecules, Biomolecules NCERT Solutions

Question:

When RNA is hydrolysed, there is no relationship among the quantities of different bases obtained. What does this fact suggest about the structure of RNA?

Answer:

 

RNA (Ribose nucleic acid) has a structure similar to DNA except that it is a single strand structure.

A DNA molecule is double-stranded in which the pairing of bases occurs. Adenine always pairs with thymine, while cytosine always pairs with guanine. Therefore, on hydrolysis of DNA, the quantity of adenine produced is equal to that of thymine and similarly, the quantity of cytosine is equal to that of guanine.

But when RNA is hydrolysed, there is no relationship among the quantities of the different bases obtained. Hence, RNA is single-stranded.
