Easy summary of RNA


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.
