Ribonucelic acid (RNA)

  1. Like DNA, RNA is a macromolecule but comparatively smaller than DNA.
  2. It is single stranded , formed of polynucleotide chain.
  3. RNA like DNA is formed of several hundred or thousands of nucleotides arranged in a linear sequence and connected together 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 ribonucleotide.
  5. The nitrogen bases in RNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and uracil. (Thymine of DNA is substituted by uracil of RNA).
