Ribonucelic acid (RNA)

  1. Like DNA, RNA is a macromolecule but comparatively smaller than DNA.
  2. It is single-stranded, formed of a polynucleotide chain.
  3. RNA like DNA is formed of several hundred or thousands of nucleotides arranged in a linear sequence and connected by 3’-5’ phosphodiester bonds.
  4. Each nucleotide consists of a ribose sugar, phosphate, and one of the four nitrogen bases. Nucleotides of RNA are called ribonucleotides.
  5. The nitrogen bases in RNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosin,e and uracil. (Thymine of DNA is substituted by uracil of RNA).
