Question

Which of the following is not true about nucleotides

Answer 1

Explanation:

ANSWER

A) nucleic acids are not always genetic material in a cell as many RNA molecules such as mRNA, tRNA are molecules which help in protein synthesis.

B) nucleic acids are made up of monomers as nucleotides into long-chain macromolecules.

C) only one type of nucleic acid is not seen in an organism because the nucleic acid could be DNA or RNA or many subtypes.

D) nucleic acid shows a secondary structure in the form of loops.

So, the correct option is A, C.

Answer 2

Nucleic acids dies not always function as genetic material as these are even involved in protein synthesis and also nucleic acids have several types and even their subtypes.

• In the cell of a living organism have nucleic acids that are constant genetic material. This is because several RNA molecules like in tRNA, or mRNA molecules play a significant role in the synthesis of protein.
• Nucleic acids are composed of monomers that aid in making long-chain macromolecules from nucleotides.
• An organism can consist of several types of nucleic acid which can be either RNA or its several subtypes or even DNA.
• A secondary structure is demonstrated by the nucleic acid in the form of loops.

Hence, Both A and C are incorrect statements.
