3
Q
TYPES OF RNA MOLECULES
A
Messenger RNA
Ribosomal RNA
Transfer RNA
Small Nuclear RNA
Heterogenous RNA
4
Q
It is the primary component of ribosomes
A
ribosomal RNA
5
Q
Transfers amino acid (carrier of anticodons)
A
transfer RNA
6
Q
Responsible for splicing/processing pre-mRNA
A
small nuclear RNA
7
Q
Also known as pre-mRNA
A
heterogenous nuclear RNA
8
Q
Template of protein synthesis (carrier of codons)
A
messenger RNA
9
Q
It is the informational DNA segments that make up genes
A
Exons
10
Q
The noncoding regions of the polypeptide.
A
introns
11
Q
During processing (splicing), the introns are
removed, and exons spliced together to yield the final mRNA. (T/F)
