  • Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and Methylation: A Key RNA Modification
    The class of RNA that contains methylated purines is ribosomal RNA (rRNA).

    Here's why:

    * Methylation is a common modification in rRNA: Methylation of adenine and guanine bases is a crucial modification in rRNA. These modifications play a role in rRNA structure, stability, and function.

    * Other RNA types may have methylation, but not as prevalent: While other RNA types like mRNA and tRNA can have some methylation, it's not as widespread or essential as in rRNA.
