Question:
RNA is a labile molecule due to the presence of:
RNA is a labile molecule due to the presence of:
Updated On: Nov 4, 2024
- 3’-OH group
- 5’-OH group
- 4’-OH group
- 2’-OH group
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
RNA is unstable due to the 2’-OH group, which makes it more prone to hydrolysis in cellular environments. The 2’-OH in RNA, compared to DNA’s absence of this hydroxyl group, contributes to its higher reactivity and lability, leading to faster degradation.

Aldehydes are generally more reactive than ketones in nucleophilic addition reactions due to steric and electronic reasons. Sterically, the presence of two large groups in ketones hinders the attack of nucleophile to carbonyl carbon than in aldehydes. Electronically, aldehydes are more reactive than ketones because two alkyl groups reduce the electrophilicity of the carbonyl carbon more effectively than in the former- CUET (UG) - 2024

The transition metals are very hard and have low volatility. Their melting and boiling points are high. In any row, the melting points of these metals rise to a maximum at d5 and fall regularly as atomic number increases. The high melting points of these metals are attributed to the involvement of greater number of electrons from (n– 1)d in addition to ns electrons in the interatomic metallic bonding.- CUET (UG) - 2024
