Select all the TRUE statements related to stability of nucleic acids. Single-stranded RNA is stabilized by base pairing that can occur between different segments of the sequence DNA fidelity is critical because DNA structure is maintained long-term in a cell Errors in mRNA sequence can be tolerated because each molecule is used for a short time and then degraded Any mutation in DNA sequence will result in a completely disrupted protein structure Both rRNA and tRNA and more stable than mRNA because they serve structural roles over a longer time frame One each new copy of the DNA genome is produced, the old DNA strands are degraded
