None of these The three-dimensional structure of transfer RNA has been determined by a. analytical ultracentrifugation b. gel electrophoresis c. ultraviolet spectroscopy d. x-ray crystallography Which of the following statements concerning transfer RNA is true? a. It has the highest molecular weight of the commonly occurring forms of RNA. b. It has no internal hydrogen bonding. c. It bonds to amino acids in the course of protein synthesis. d. It is the smallest of the RNA types e. All of these arc true. In analytical ultracentrifugation the sedimentation coefficient, which is expressed in Svedberg units(S), characterizes a sedimenting particle on the basis of a. size only b. shape only c. both size and shape d. neither size nor shape Transfer RNA molecule are characterized by all the following except: a. They are one of the largest of the RNAs. b. Cloverleaf shape. c. Many modified bases. d. Extensive secondary and tertiary structure. e. All of these characterize transfer RAN molecules.

Explanation / Answer

13)d. are both are right hand helices
