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 1

$\text{Concept of DNA \& RNA structure}$

$DNA$ have double strand structure in which pairing of bases occurs. Here, adenine pairs with thymine and cytosine pairs with guanine.

On hydrolysis, the amount of thymine produce is equal to the amount of adenine and amount of guanine is equal to the amount of cytosine.

But when $RNA$ is hydrolyzed, there is no relationship among the quantities of bases ($C,G,A$ and $U$). This suggest that $RNA$ is a single strand structure.
