Interpretation:
The nucleic acid structure shown below should be classified as DNA and RNA along with explanation.
Concept introduction:

Answer to Problem 81A
The given nucleic acid structure is classified as RNA.
Explanation of Solution
DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid which contains five carbon sugar, a nitrogen base and a phosphate group. It stores the biological information or gene information in a sequence of four bases of nucleic acid: Adenine, cytosine, thymine and guanine. DNA has a structure of double helix. It also stores the replicate genetic information.
RNA stands for ribonucleic acid which converts the information stored in DNA into various proteins. These proteins help in the development of the functioning of a cell. It stores the biological information or gene information in a sequence of four bases of nucleic acid: Adenine, cytosine, uracil and guanine. RNA has a structure of single-stranded.
Now, according to the given structure, the bases are adenine, cytosine, uracil and guanine. These bases are present in RNA. Also, the figure shows single strand structure which is not possible for DNA as it has double helix structure.
Hence, the given nucleic acid structure is classified as RNA.

- Post Lab Questions. 1) Draw the mechanism of your Diels-Alder cycloaddition. 2) Only one isomer of product is formed in the Diels-Alder cycloaddition. Why? 3) Imagine that you used isoprene as diene - in that case you don't have to worry about assigning endo vs exo. Draw the "endo" and "exo" products of the Diels-Alder reaction between isoprene and maleic anhydride, and explain why the distinction is irrelevant here. 4) This does not hold for other dienes. Draw the exo and endo products of the reaction of cyclohexadiene with maleic anhydride.
