Which of the following is necessary for RNA synthesis?

  1. dNTPs

  2. dATPs

  3. N-t-RNA

  4. T-RNA

The correct answer is: dNTPs

RNA synthesis is a complex process that requires various components to function properly. Out of all the options listed, only dNTPs are necessary for RNA synthesis. This is because RNA is made up of nucleotides that include a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate. In this case, dNTPs provide the nucleotide building blocks necessary for creating RNA. The other options, such as dATPs, N-t-RNA, and T-RNA, do not provide the necessary components for RNA synthesis and are therefore incorrect.
