Types of RNA

Question 1

What are the three types of RNA?

Answer 1

messanger RNA
transport RNA
ribosomal RNA

Question 2

what is the structure of mRNA?

Answer 2

Only one gene long
single stranded
linear molecule
Bases are arranged in codons. the bases in mRNA are arranged in groups of three, known as codons. one codon codes for one amino acid .

Question 3

what is the function of mRNA?

Answer 3

Leaves nucleus to carry the copy of genetic code of one gene to a ribosome in the cytoplasm

Question 4

where is mRNA created ?

Answer 4

the nucleus

Question 5

is mRNA short or long lived , give ur reasoning ?

Answer 5

short as it is only temporarily needed to help create a protein
by the time any enzyme could break it down it would have already carried out it’s function

Question 6

what is the structure of TRNA?

Answer 6

Bases are arranged in codons. Similar to bases in DNA, the bases in mRNA are arranged in groups of three, known as codons.

Question 7

what bonds are in TRNA?

Answer 7

hydrogen bonds

Question 8

explain the anticodon in TRNA?

Answer 8

Bases are arranged in codons. Similar to bases in DNA, the bases in mRNA are arranged in groups of three, known as codons.three bases are complementary to 3 bases on mRNA( the codon )

Question 9

what is the function of tRNA?

Answer 9

is involved in translation.
It carries the amino acids that are used to make proteins to the ribosomes. to create the peptide chain

Question 10

what is Rrna?

Answer 10

subunits on a ribosome.

Question 11

compare mRNA with tRNA?

Answer 11

they have different functions
MRNA has codons that are complementary to DNA triplets
tRNA has anticodons that are complementry to mRNA codons and corrospond to specific amino acids
mRNA is a simple strand and tRNA is a clover shaped loop structure
mRNA is broken down after translation
tRNA is connected with a new amino acid after translation
