Human Genetics 3 RNA Flashcards
Define RNA:
Single-chain of nucleotides with Ribose instead of deoxyribose
RNA function:
Transcribes and translates DNA to form proteins with ribosomes
RNA pairs with:
Uracil pairs with Adenine instead of Thymine pairing with Adenine
What are the Nucleotides of RNA:
GCAU
Guanine&Cytosine
Adenine&Uracil
What are 3 types of RNA:
Ribosomal RNA =rRNA
Messanger RNA = mRNA
Transfer RNA = tRNA
Where/ function is Ribosomal RNA found?
On ribosomes to make protein
The structure of Ribosomal RNA?
1 nucleotide
Function and location of Messanger RNA:
In nucleus, carries protein code from the nucleus to ribosome by traveling in cytosal
The structure of Messanger RNA:
1 nucleotide
Function and location of Transfer RNA:
In the Cytosal, matches specific amino acids to rRNA and mRNA
Structure of Transfer RNA:
3 nucleotides attached to 1 molecule of an Amino Acid
