There are actually several types of ribonucleic acid or RNA, but most are one of these:
1. mRNA or Messenger RNA
mRNA transcribes the genetic code from DNA into a form that can be read and used to make proteins. mRNA also carries genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm of a cell.
2. rRNA or Ribosomal RNA
rRNA is located in the cytoplasm of a cell forming ribosomes. rRNA directs the translation of mRNA into proteins.
3. tRNA or Transfer RNA
tRNA is located in the cellular cytoplasm and is involved directly in protein synthesis.
Transfer RNA carries or transfers amino acids to the ribosome that match each three nucleotide codon on rRNA.
Then amino acids can be joined together forming polypeptides and proteins.

∙ 13y agoThe different types of RNA are as follows:
Messenger RNA :
Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries information about a protein sequence to the ribosomes, the protein synthesis factories in the cell.
Ribosomal RNA:
In the cytoplasm, ribsomal RNA (rRNA) and protein combine to form a nucleoprotein called a ribosome. The ribosome serves as the site and carries the enzymes necessary for protein synthesis.
Transfer RNA:
Transfer RNA (tRNA) contains about 75 nucleotides, three of which are called anticodons, and one amino acid. The tRNA reads the code and carries the amino acid to be incorporated into the developing protein.

What are the different types of RNA polymerases and their promoters?
rma polymerase 1, rna polymerase 2, rna polymerase 3
Are all three types of RNA coded by the same genes?
There are different types of genes for encoding three types of RNA. Protein coding genes are transcribed by RNA polymerase II to yield mRNA. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) are transcribed by RNA polymerase I. Likewise, transfer RNA (tRNA) are transcribed by polymerase III.
What are the types of RNA?
There are three main types of RNA: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). There are other types, such as the transfer-messenger RNA in some bacteria.
Two types of RNA molecules are?
Four types are mRNA:messenger RNA tRNA:transfer RNA rRNA:ribosomic RNA and snRNA:small nuclear RNA(only in eukaryotic cells)
How is RNA different from RNA?
Did you mean how is RNA different from DNA?
How many different types of RNA are there in protein synthesis?
There are three main types of RNA in protein synthesis. They are ribosomal, transfer and messenger. There are other types of RNA but these are the most significant ones.
How many types of RNA are their?
three types of RNA; mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA
What are different types of nucleic acids?
DNA and RNA
What are the different types of RNA polymerases and their promoters?
rma polymerase 1, rna polymerase 2, rna polymerase 3
Are all three types of RNA coded by the same genes?
There are different types of genes for encoding three types of RNA. Protein coding genes are transcribed by RNA polymerase II to yield mRNA. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) are transcribed by RNA polymerase I. Likewise, transfer RNA (tRNA) are transcribed by polymerase III.
Why are many types of RNA found in some cells with only one DNA?
There are different types of RNA that have different functions. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) makes ribosomes, the site of protein synthesis; messenger RNA (mRNA) transcribes the DNA code into a strand of mRNA and will attach to a ribosome where transfer RNA (tRNA) translates the mRNA code by bringing amino acids to their appropriate place based on the mRNA code.
How are the different types of RNA similar?
They all function in protein synthesis.
What are the types of RNA?

Cells have ribosomal RNA (rRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), and transfer RNA (tRNA).

What types of RNA copies DNA?
The type of RNA that copies DNA is known as the messenger RNA or mRNA. There are other types of RNA these include the transfer RNA (tRNA), and the ribosomal (rRNA).
