Question

What are the three types of RNAs?

Answer 1

RNA (Ribonucleic acid):

1. RNA is a type of nucleic acid.
2. In some viruses, RNA serves as the genetic material.
3. RNA functions as a messenger, adaptor, structural, and catalytic molecule in some circumstances.

Three types of RNAs:

1. mRNA (messenger RNA): serves as a template during translation.
2. tRNA (transfer RNA): transports amino acids and reads the genetic code.
3. rRNA (ribosomal RNA): serve as structural and catalytic elements.
4. In a cell, all three RNAs are required for protein synthesis.
