Question 1
Multiple choiceEasy1 markA student is examining a reaction mixture used to build an RNA strand. Which description identifies the monomers and reaction involved?
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B. RNA is a polymer formed when nucleotide monomers are joined by condensation.
A: substitutes hydrolysis, which breaks polymers rather than joining monomers.
C: substitutes amino acids, which are monomers used to form polypeptides.
D: substitutes DNA for the RNA polymer specified.
Remember: condensation builds polymers from monomers; hydrolysis breaks them down.
