RNA carries out several important roles. There are 3 main types of RNA, messenger RNA (mRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA).
mRNA carries a copy of the instructions for creating proteins from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes for translation.
rRNA makes up part of the ribosomes.
tRNA carries amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) to the ribosomes

∙ 13y agoDo you mean RNA interference? It's important because it's a previously unsuspected mechanism of gene regulation and defense mechanism.

∙ 11y agoRNAi stands for RNA interference. Researchers had found that injecting double-stranded RNA molecules into a cell somehow turned off gene expression of a gene with the same sequence of RNA.

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.
How do you express The central dogma of biology or the mechanism of reading and expressing genes in all living things?
The "central dogma" was that the flow of information always went from DNA to RNA to protein. This assumption was discarded with the discovery of reverse transcriptase, which allowed information to move from RNA to DNA.
What molecule is made during transcription?
During transcription a protein molecule called a messenger RNA, or mRNA, is produced. This protein becomes important later during translation.
What are the major components of a ribosome?
There are a few important component of ribosomes. The most important component would be Ribosomal RNA.
Types of RNA and give the function?
The three types of RNA is mRNA, tRNA and rRNA. rRNA is ribosomal RNA makes an important part of the ribosome. tRNA is for transfer RNA that transfers amino acids to ribosome like messenger RNA says. mRNA is for messenger RNA who carries messages to other parts of the cell.

Why is it important for RNA to be smaller then DNA?
Because RNA is the replication of DNA.
Why is sRNA called soluble RNA?
Soluble RNA was originally called this because a soluble segment of RNA from liver cells that did not sediment (settle at the bottom/come out of suspension) after several hours of centrifuging lead to the discovery of this type of RNA. Soluble RNA is an outdated term - the current term used for this type of RNA is transfer RNA, or tRNA.
How does the discovery of catalytic RNA help to solve the chicken-and egg problem in the origin of life?
If RNA can indeed self-replicate, then the egg could have come first from a single strand of RNA and then produced the chicken
Was glass an important discovery?
Yes glass was an important discovery
What has the author Toine Pieters written?
Toine Pieters has written: 'Interferon' -- subject- s -: History, Interferon, Interferon industry
Do fibroblast cells produce interferon-gamma?
Fibroblast cells do produce interferon-gamma. IFNy is a member interferon type II class. Earlier on, IFNy was called as the immune interferon.
What are important in making proteins?
Ribosomes are physically important in making proteins.DNA makes RNA and RNA makes protein.
What is the function of interferon?
Interferons are cell produced chemicals created to prevent viruses entering cells. it is the important cytokines -regulate the cell growth and differentiation. -regulate apoptosis and signal transduction. -have immune modulatory and antitumor function -helps in pathway of cellular RNA and protein metabolism.
What type of medication is pegylated interferon?
The Pegylated interferon treats chronic hepatitis. Pegylated interferon, usually called peginterferon, is chemically modified from the standard interferon that treats hepatitis C and B.
How many amino acids in interferon?
Interferon is a type of protein that is made up of a chain of amino acids. The exact number of amino acids in interferon can vary depending on the specific type or subtype of interferon. However, on average, a typical interferon protein is composed of approximately 166 to 1669 amino acids.
