Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that RNA stands for ribonucleic acid, which is a crucial molecule involved in various biological roles, including coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes.
Recognize that there are several types of RNA, each with a specific function in the cell. The main types include Transfer RNA (tRNA), Messenger RNA (mRNA), and Ribosomal RNA (rRNA).
Transfer RNA (tRNA) is responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis, matching the correct amino acid to the mRNA's codon.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) serves as a template for protein synthesis, carrying the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a key structural component of ribosomes, which are the cellular machines that assemble proteins according to the sequence of the mRNA.
