Types of RNA Flashcards
Messenger RNA
Long single stranded molecule
Synthesises in the nucleus
Carriers the genetic code from the DNA to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm
Different mRNA have different lengths, related to genes they synthesis
Ribosomal RNA
Found it is the cytoplasm and comprimies large complex molecules. Ribosomes are made up of proteins and ribosomal RNA
they are the site of translation of the genetic code into protein
Transfer RNA
Small single stranded molecule
Base sequence forming complimentry paris
Its shape is described as a leaf clover
The 3 end has the base sequence cytosine - Cytosine - adenie, where the spesific amino acids o fthe molecules
Aso carries three sequcene bases called the anticodon
Molecules of Trna transport specific amino acids to the riboesomes in proteins synthesis
