RNA can be degraded by Ribonucleases (aka RNases). These are enzymes found all over the inside and outside of your body and are made by all living things. RNA isn't alive, so it is not being killed; it is being fragmented into small pieces.

Why RNA extraction is difficult?

RNA itself difficult to handle because of its unstable nature. Unlike DNA, RNA has free 2'-OH group in their ribose sugar that make them highly reactive. Other than this, RNAse contamination is everywhere (during isolation RNAase from our skin can kill RNA).


How does small interfearing RNA kill cancer cells?

Small interfering RNA (siRNA) can kill cancer cells by targeting specific genes or pathways that are crucial for cancer cell survival or growth. When siRNA enters the cancer cells, it binds to its complementary mRNA, leading to degradation of the mRNA and inhibition of protein synthesis. This disrupts crucial cellular processes in the cancer cells, ultimately leading to their death.


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?

What virus has RNA as its genetic material?

There are many viruses with RNA. Here are a few examples: Ebola virus, HIV, and the viruses causing measles, mumps, polio, rabies, rubella, and yellow fever. In the Baltimore classification of viruses, four of the seven major groups (classes III to VI) store their genetic information in RNA. For further information, look at the links below. technically hat is not true because RNA viruses don't kill.


What are three kinds of RNA molecules?

The three types of RNA include; messenger RNA (mRNA), RNA polymerase, and transfer RNA (tRNA).


What are the main forms of rna?

Messenger RNA (mRNA) Ribosomal RNA ( rRNA ) Transfer RNA ( tRNA )


What enzyeme helps a cell to make a strand of rna?

RNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for synthesizing RNA strands during transcription in a cell. It reads the DNA template strand and adds complementary RNA nucleotides to form an RNA strand.


What are the 4 types of RNA called?

The four types of RNA are messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and small nuclear RNA (snRNA). Each type plays a specific role in the process of protein synthesis within cells.
