What are Dna and Rna considered to be?
Whereas Rna also has catalytic abilities, both are considered to be 'Information Molecules'.
How could RNA have become involved in the mechanism for protein translation?
natural selection favored RNA molecules that synthesized catalytic proteins
What are molecules that catalyze chemical reactions?
Enzymes
What form of RNA forms a particle where proteins are assembled?
This catalytic form of RNA is called ribosomal RNA, rRNA.
How many strands are in molecule of RNA?
Generally, RNA is single stranded, but there are exceptions, especially in catalytic RNA.
What are three types of RNA molecules?
The three types of RNA molecules include messenger RNA (mRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA).
Can RNAs be enzymes?
RNA molecules that act as enzymes are called ribozymes(also called RNA enzymes or catalytic RNA).They have a well defined tertiary structure (like proteins), their activity is often coordinated to metal ions as cofactors, and they have been found to catalyze reactions in which a ribosome removes the amino group from an amino acid.
What molecules contain the codons?
Dna, Rna, mRna, and tRna, to name just a few!
What is one job in which most rna molecules are involved?
RNA molecules have many functions, but in the majority of cells most RNA molecules are involved in just one job- protein synthesis.
The term ribozyme describes what property of RNA molecules?
A ribozyme is an RNA molecule that is capable of catalyzing a chemical reaction. Prior to the discovery of ribozymes, the only known biological catalysts were proteins called enzymes.
Does adenine nuleotide occur in DNA but not in RNA molecules?
Adenine occurs in both RNA and DNA molecules. It is uracil that replaces thymine in the RNA molecule.
Molecules move between the nucleus and the cytoplasm through?
Water soluble molecules such as protein and RNA.
