Biology Unit Six: DNA, RNA and Protein Synthesis EOC Practice Test 1. Matthew and Bradley got into an argument. Matthew was convinced that the above picture was RNA, and Bradley was positive that it was DNA. Who is right and why? A. Both Matthew and Bradley were wrong as this is not DNA or RNA. B. Matthew was right because RNA is single-stranded while DNA is double-stranded. C. There is not enough information in the picture to conclude who was right. D. Bradley was right because DNA is single-stranded while RNA is double-stranded.
