Which one of the following statements about mRNA stability is true?

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes
  1. Degradation always proceeds in the 5' to 3' direction.

  2. Degradation of mRNA by polynucleotide phosphorylase yields 5'-nucleoside monophosphates.

  3. In general, bacterial mRNAs have longer half-lives than do eukaryotic mRNAs.

  4. Secondary structure in mRNA (hairpins, for example) slows the rate of degradation.
