Question

Four main subtypes of secondary structures can be identified. They are hairpin loops, bulge loops, interior loops, and multi-branch loops.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

My enquiry is from Types of RNA Structures in portion RNA Structure Prediction of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) True

Easy explanation: Because the RNA tertiary structure is very difficult to predict, attention has been mainly focused on secondary structure prediction. Based on the arrangement of helical base pairing in secondary structures, the mentioned four main subtypes of secondary structures can be identified.
