There are many kinds of RNA in the cell, messenger RNA (MRNA) is the only RNA that O carries the code to make the primary protein sequence. O forms a single stranded RNA molecule through hydrogen bonds O has a deoxyribose pentose sugar lacking a hydroxyl group. can form a double helix through covalent bonds like the one in DNA.
