What is difference between messenger RNA and treansfer RNA?
DNA never leaves the nucleus of the cell to get its information out to the ribosomes is the function of Messenger RNA. Messenger RNA is a copy of DNA. Transfer RNA is not a long chain like most RNA/DNA but occurs in short three code segments, as there are three different possibilities for each code (adenine thymine and uracil) there’s a large number of possible type of Transfer RNA. Each one of these types carries a different type of amino acid around with it. When a segment of Transfer RNA finds a match along the Messenger RNA strand it joins its associated amino acid to the growing protein chain. (This is why it is called transfer RNA as it transfers its amino acid.) This is how proteins are made in the cell using the information on the DNA.
