Question

Match the type of RNA in column I with its function in column II.

Column I	Column II
1. mRNA	A. reads the genetic code
2. tRNA	B. catalytic role
3. rRNA	C. acts as a template

• A. 1-A, 2-B, 3-C
• B. 1-B, 2-C, 3-A
• C. 1-C, 2-A, 3-B
• D. 1-C, 2-B, 3-A

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1-C, 2-A, 3-B

The synthesis of proteins requires three types of RNAs.

1. mRNA (messenger RNA) acts as a template for the synthesis of proteins.
2. tRNA (transfer RNA) helps in bringing the amino acids and reads the genetic code on the mRNA.
3. rRNA (ribosomal RNA) plays a critical role as a catalytic agent during protein synthesis.
