Ribosomal RNA or rRNA is the main constituent of ribosomes. It performs the peptidyl transferase function of combining amino acids together via peptide bonds.

What are the three bases of RNA and DNA put together called?

The three bases of RNA and DNA put together are called codons in RNA and triplets in DNA. These sequences of bases encode specific amino acids or signal the end of protein synthesis.


How does RNA polymerase use DNA?

RNA polymerase reads the DNA template and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand by linking together RNA nucleotides according to the base pairing rules. RNA polymerase moves along the DNA strand in the 3' to 5' direction, synthesizing the RNA transcript in the 5' to 3' direction.


Hoes does the transfer of RNA work?

The transfer of RNA works in a similar way to DNA except that RNA does not have a "backup" or double stand of chromosomal information in the DNA material.


What enzyme is necessary for transcription?

The enzyme RNA polymerase transcribes DNA. This enzyme initiates transcription, joins the RNA nucleotides together, and terminates.


How do you write an RNA sequence if given the DNA sequence?

Bases A and T link together and C and G link together. If your DNA sequence was, for example, ATCGAGT your RNA sequence would be TAGCTCA.


Why is RNA primase not DNA primase?

RNA primase is used to synthesize short RNA primers that are needed for DNA replication by DNA polymerase. This RNA primer can be easily replaced by DNA once DNA polymerase starts synthesizing the new DNA strand. This is different from DNA primase which synthesizes RNA primers during the synthesis of Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand during DNA replication in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

What is the function of RNA polymerase?

RNA polymerase is an enzyme responsible for synthesizing RNA molecules from a DNA template during transcription. It reads the DNA template and catalyzes the formation of RNA by linking together RNA nucleotides in the correct sequence.


What is an example of a sugar phosphate backbone?

DNA and RNA molecules have a sugar phosphate backbone. In DNA, the sugar is deoxyribose, while in RNA it is ribose. The phosphate groups link the sugar molecules together forming a linear chain.
