Question

Why is RNA necessary to act as a messenger?

Answer 1

RNA:

1. Ribonucleic acid is a polymeric molecule necessary for various biological roles like expression, regulation, coding, and decoding of genes.
2. DNA is made up of large molecules, so it cannot penetrate through the tiny nucleic pores, therefore for its interpretation mRNA is used.
3. Messenger RNA or mRNA is a single-stranded structure made up of building blocks of nucleic acid which are called nucleotides.
4. mRNA is the form of RNA which helps in encoding the message coming from the DNA to form proteins.
5. Then it transports the gathered data into the cell where proteins are assembled and generated.
6. So, for these reasons RNA necessary to act as a messenger.
