Refer to the given diagram of ribose sugar found in RNA [image:6_image23.emf] Which among the following group makes RNA easily degradable and labile?

Question

Dr. Abubacker · Accepted Answer

RNA is easily degradable and labile due to the presence of highly reactive 2’- OH group in its nucleotides containing ribose sugar. This 2’ OH group is not present in deoxyribose sugar found in the nucleotides of DNA. Thus, DNA is more stable than RNA. [image:6_image87.emf]
