✦ Synopsis

The base composition of the poly(A) segment of duck 10S RNA was determined to be 92% AMP and 8% GMP. The GMP was probably the result of contamination of poly(A) with other segments of the RNA. A comparison of the theoretical and determined base compositions of the whole 10S RNA molecule suggested that it contains, besides a coding sequence, two noncoding sequences only one of which is poly(A).
