Q. 17.34 - An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Question

What are the functions of each type of RNA?

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

(r RNA), (m RNA), and (t RNA) are the three kinds of RNA.

step 1: Introduction

The major component of ribosomes, where protein synthesis occurs, is ribosomal RNA (r RNA).

Step 2:Explaination

From the DNA to the ribosomes, messenger RNA (m RNA) carries the instructions for protein synthesis.

Step 3:Conclusion

Amino acids are delivered to the ribosomes by transfer RNA (t RNA).
