Explain the structure, function and types of RNA
Answers
Explanation:
Functions of RNA in Protein Synthesis
Structure and Function of RNA
mRNA
Structure Short, unstable, single-stranded RNA corresponding to a gene encoded within DNA
Function Serves as intermediary between DNA and protein; used by ribosome to direct synthesis of protein it encodes
Answer:
Full Form of RNA :
Ribonucleic acid
Structure Of RNA :
Structurally speaking, ribonucleic acid (RNA), is quite similar to DNA. However, whereas DNA molecules are typically long and double stranded, RNA molecules are much shorter and are typically single stranded. RNA molecules perform a variety of roles in the cell but are mainly involved in the process of protein synthesis (translation) and its regulation.
Function of RNA:
Cells access the information stored in DNA by creating RNA to direct the synthesis of proteins through the process of translation. Proteins within a cell have many functions, including building cellular structures and serving as enzyme catalysts for cellular chemical reactions that give cells their specific characteristics. The three main types of RNA directly involved in protein synthesis are messenger RNA (mRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and transfer RNA (tRNA).
