Question

How is RNA important to DNA?

Answer 1

RNA's importance to DNA:

1. According to the central dogma of molecular biology, RNA's main function is to translate the data encoded in DNA into proteins.
2. DNA replication is made possible by RNA.
3. The cell can produce amino acids due to RNA, which helps with the synthesis, control, and expression of genes.
4. It acts as a mediator between the ribosomes and the DNA.
5. In some viruses, ribonucleic acid, or RNA, takes the role of the genetic code-carrying molecule DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in the creation of cellular proteins.
6. A single ribose sugar molecule makes up the single strand of RNA.
