RNA: the nucleic acid which is found mainly in the nucleolus and
ribosome
Composition of RNA : it is formed by single stand
nucleotide . Each nucleotide contain pentose suger , phosphate, four
nitrogenous bases : (A), cytosine
(C), guanine (G), or uracil (U). Adenine
There are three types of RNA: 1. mRNA 2. tRNA
3.rRNA
Messenger RNA (mRNA): it transfers genetic information
from the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm and also acts as a template
for the synthesis of polypeptides.
Transfer RNA: transfers activated amino
acids from the cytoplasm to messenger RNA.
Ribosomal RNA : (rRNA) is responsible for the
translation of mRNA to protein.
itis the RNA
component of the ribosome which is essential for protein synthesis in all
living organisms. rRNA is the predominant RNA in most cells, composing around
80% of cellular RNA. Ribosomes are approximately 60% rRNA and 40% protein by
weight.
