Which of the following is not true with respect to RNA?   a). A single-stranded chain of alternating phosphate and ribose units with the bases Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine bonded to the ribose.  b). RNA molecules are involved in protein synthesis and sometimes in the transmission of genetic information. c). The helix geometry of RNA is of A-Form. RNA strands are continually made, broken down and reused. RNA is more resistant to damage by Ultra-violet rays. d).
