'Which of the following statements about RNA are true?

Step 1
RNA is composed of nucleotides, not amino acids. - "it is assembled into much shorter lengths than DNA" - True. RNA molecules are typically shorter than DNA molecules. - "it sometimes forms spirals" - True. Some types of RNA can form secondary structures, Show more…

Which of the following statements about DNA are true? (choose all that apply) - It is a polymer composed of nucleic acids. - It is often found as a small molecule combined with cell surface proteins and lipids and serves as a kind of name tag, identifying "self" to distinguish it from "nonself". - It is a polymer composed of carbohydrates and one of the molecular building blocks of the cell wall. - DNA is the molecule that stores the genetic information. - In eukaryotes, it is primarily found in the nucleus, a membrane-bound structure that contains the metabolic and chemical processes of gene expression and mRNA transcription. - It is a polymer composed of amino acids and is one of the important subunits in cell membranes. - In prokaryotes, it is found in the nucleoid region, but prokaryotes don't have a membrane-bound nucleus.
