Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) RNA - Protein Synthesis

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

DNA contains \(\beta\)-D-2-deoxyribose sugar, whereas RNA contains \(\beta\)-D-ribose sugar. RNA molecules (mRNA, tRNA, rRNA) are directly responsible for protein synthesis in the cell. Glucocorticoids are steroid hormones secreted by the adrenal cortex that regulate…
