An RNA molecule is isolated from d culture of g+ve bac consists 90 nucleotides n contain both dihydrouracil n acetylcytosine residues ,wich of d followin is at 3' end of dis molecule........
1-TATA
2-CCA
3-POLY-A
4AUG
5-UAG

WID EXPLANATION PLZ.................

is it 2.....CCA

as far as i know,

tRNA CONTAINS...DIHYDROURACIL...

but i am not sure.............

2-CCA
an RNA 90Nucleotides--tRNA
3' end of tRNA is CCA

bcz dihydro uraciland acetylcytosine residues are seen only in t-RNA. It's there in Kaplan
