Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of secondary structure is commonly formed by RNA?
  • Step 1: Understand that RNA is a type of molecule made up of smaller units called nucleotides.
  • Step 2: Know that nucleotides in RNA can pair with each other based on specific rules (A pairs with U, and C pairs with G).
  • Step 3: Recognize that when parts of the RNA strand are complementary, they can form bonds with each other.
  • Step 4: Learn that this bonding can create shapes, one of which is called a hairpin loop.
  • Step 5: Conclude that hairpin loops are a common secondary structure formed by RNA due to these base pairings.
