Question

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
Which of the following nucleic acid molecules is believed to contain a cytokine molecule as one of its component nucleotides

• A. DNA
• B. m-RNA
• C. r-RNA
• D. t-RNA

Answer 1

The correct option is D t-RNA

The cytokine is plant growth regulators or hormones that perform the function of cell division resulting in the growth of the cells. The DNA, mRNA, and rRNA are composed of genetic material having proteins and four nucleotide bases i.e., adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine while tRNA when gets degraded due to the presence of uridine in its anticodon arm and then produces cytokine. These cytokines are later hydrolyzed and then converted into free nucleotide bases. They are the modified base of DNA.

So, the correct option is 'tRNA'.
