Consider the differences between RNA and DNA. Which of the following statements are true? (This is a multi-select question). Unlike DNA, RNA can not form any base-paired structures. Unlike DNA, RNA contains ribose instead of 2-deoxyribose. Uridylate is commonly found in RNA but not DNA. RNA is less stable to hydrolysis than DNA. Unlike DNA, RNA is never used as the genetic material.

The linkage between individual nucleotides in DNA is known as a phosphodiester bond because— two esters are connected by a single covalent bond whose formation is catalyzed by a phosphate. a double bond is formed in the process of esterification of a phosphate group. a nucleoside diphosphate is involved and each phosphate forms one ester. a single phosphate is esterified to two deoxyribose units. two bonds are phosphorylated into one single bond
Both DNA and RNA are sensitive to alkaline hydrolysis. However, RNA is more sensitive to alkaline hydrolysis because of: The presence of 2' hydroxyl group The presence of 1' uracil nitrogenous base The presence of 5' phosphate group The presence of 3' hydroxyl group

Which is NOT a true difference between messenger RNA and DNA? (i.e., which of the following statements is false?)
