Briefly explain the different types of RNA.
Answer:
There are three different types of RNA:
- Messenger RNA (mRNA): A messenger RNA molecule is a single strand (not a double strand) about a thousand nucleotides long. Massenger RNA is involved in carrying the genetic code from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm where protein is synthesized.
- Ribosomal RNA (rRNA): Molecules of ribosomal RNA are large and complex, often forming a double helix. Ribosomes are made up of rRNA and protein.
- Transfer RNA (fRNA): These are small molecules, about 80 nucleotide long. Transfer RNA molecules bring amino acids to the ribosomes so that the protein can be assembled.
