Question

What are the three types of RNA? Mention their relation to protein synthesis.

Answer 1

Types of RNA

S. No.	Types of RNA	Functions
(i)	Messenger RNA (mRNA)	i. t stores the genetic information from DNA. ii. It decides the sequence of amino acid in a polypeptide.
(ii)	Transfer RNA (tRNA)	i. It acts as an adaptor molecule that at one end reads the code on mRNA and accordingly bind to amino acid on the other end. ii. It recognises the codon on mRNA by its anticodon and leaves amino acid at the protein synthesis site.
(iii)	Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)	i. It constitutes the ribosomal structure. ii. It helps to form peptide bond.
