Short Answer

Expert verified

The secondary structure is given below:

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Concept

Polyribonucleotide poly(A) melting curve has a sigmoidal shape. At first, the absorbance increases at a slow rate. As the temperature rises, the absorbance increases exponentially until it reaches a steady-state.

02

Step 2:Draw the secondary structure

RNAs have a variety of secondary structures. Helixes, internal loops, bulges, and hairpin loops may be present.

The RNA sequence AUUGGCAUCCGAUAA could consist of five (5) base pairs.

The base pairing is as follows:
