6. Nucleic acids are involved in carrying genetic information and protein synthesis. A molecule of RNA derived from the latest Chimpanzee cells has been found to have the following
sequence
3' ACCACGUUAG 5'
The uniqueness of this RNA from a Chimpanzee is that it forms a double loop between the
bases CGU and then continues as a normal RNA strand on UAG
