Q. 17.33 - An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Question

What are the three different types of RNA?

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

Protein synthesis requires three different forms of RNA. Messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA are the three types of RNA (rRNA)

Step 1 : Introduction

There are three types of RNA.

(1) Ribonucleic acid (r RNA)

(2) RNA messenger (m RNA)

(3) RNA transfer (t RNA)

Step 2 : Explanation

• The instructions are sent from the nucleus to the cytoplasm via messenger RNA (mRNA).
• Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA), the other two types of RNA, are important in the process of arranging amino acids to produce proteins.
