What are the protien synthesis events and roles of diffrent types of RNA?
There are three types of RNA– messenger RNA, transfer RNA, ribosomal RNA mRNA – A complementary, single strand of nucleotides that attaches to a DNA segment and represents a specific gene of DNA to be translated. Otherwise, the DNA would have to be carried all the way out of the nucleus of the cell, which would be very inefficient. The mRNA is carried to the ribosome, which is the site of protein synthesis. tRNA – There are 20 different tRNA molecules throughout the cell, and these are basically each in charge of a particular amino acid. The tRNA molecules attach amino acids to a growing protein chain in the ribosome, depending on what combinations of nucleotides are present in the mRNA. Each tRNA molecule has a specific amino acid that it acts as a carrier for. rRNA – Ribosomes are made out of the material called rRNA.
