Question

Explain the structure,function and types of RNA.

Answer 1

RNA(Ribonucleic acid):
RNA is a polymer of Ribonucleotides linked together by3'-5' phosphodiester linkage.
There are actually several types of ribonucleic acid or RNA, but most RNA falls intoone of three categories:
mRNA or Messenger RNA :mRNA transcribes the genetic code from DNA into a form that can be read and used to make proteins.
.rRNA orRibosomal RNArRNA is located in the cytoplasm of a cell, where ribosomes are found. rRNA directs the translation of mRNA into proteins.
tRNA or Transfer RNALike rRNA, tRNA is located in the cellular cytoplasm and is involvedin protein synthesis.
