RNA stands for ribonucleic acid, it is a nucleic acid similar to DNA but instead of having deoxyribose, RNA contains ribose. There are 3 types of RNA:
1. Messenger RNA (mRNA): its job is to act as a "messenger" that transmit transcribed information from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes cites in the cytoplasm of the cell. At these ribosomes sites, proteins are made from the amino acid sequences that the mRNA carries.
2. Transfer RNA (tRNA): there are 20 types of these RNA, each type is assigned to a specific amino acid. Its job is to "transfer" these amino acid and chain them together in the order specified by the mRNA.
3. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA): it is an element of the ribosomes where proteins are made in the cytoplasm.
In general, RNA carries information from the nucleus of the cell to the ribosomes in order to make protein.
What else can I help you with?
Is RNA found in Humans?
yes
Is nucleic acid harmful for humans?
No. It isn't. They form the backbone of DNA and RNA in our body.
Why do sulfonamides not affect humans?
Humans are unable to make their own folate. Folate is necessary for the production of DNA and RNA so humans must eat folate produced by other organisms which is why humans are unaffected by the action of sulphonamides.
What factors contributes to genetic variation between humans?
the genes that code for RNA and proteins...............
Is adenavirus and RNA virus?
Adenovirus have an icosahedral capsid with a glycoprotein spike at each vertex and has DNA as their genome. RNA is not an virus, but a macromolecule (nucleic acid)
What are noroviruses?
Noroviruses are a group of related, single-stranded RNA (ribonucleic acid) viruses that cause acute gastroenteritis in humans.
What are two good genetic materials?
I think the two types of genetic materials are the DNA & RNA. DNA is seen in humans mammals and almost all other organisms but RNA is seen in some viruses like TMV.
How many type of transfer RNA in human?
There are around 600 different types of transfer RNA (tRNA) in humans. Each tRNA carries a specific amino acid that matches with a specific codon on mRNA during protein synthesis.
How many strands is RNA made of?
RNA is typically made of a single strand, as opposed to DNA which is usually double-stranded. RNA contains nucleotides that are composed of a ribose sugar, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous bases: adenine, cytosine, guanine, or uracil.
What is RNA polymearase?
RNA polymerase is an enzyme that makes a RNA copy from an RNA template.
What are the three kinda of RNA?
The three types of RNA are: mRNA (messanger RNA), rRNA (ribosomal RNA), and tRNA (transfer RNA).
What are the shapes of RNA?
mRNA - messenger RNA tRNA - transfer RNA rRNA - ribosomal RNA
