What is the role of RNA

Biology
2 answers:
DENIUS [597]3 years ago
4 0
There are 3 roles of RNA in protein synthesis
1) Messenger RNA or abbreviated as mRNA 
 - Carries genetic material copied from DNA in the form of series of 3 base coded "words"
- Each word represents an amino acid which will be  built into a protein later
2)Transfer RNA of tRNA
 - The key to deciphering the mRNA
 - The correct tRNA will adhere to the mRNA in a ribosome with an amino acid in tow which will connect to form a polypeptide chain.
3) Ribosomal RNA or rRNA
 -The rRNA kind of facilitates protein synthesis 
 - It is what forms the protein from a polypeptide chain.
 - Also joins the ribosome together ( Ribosomes are made of 2 subunits)
The process is kind of a visual process. For me, I had to kind see it to actually understand. It is a confusing process to understand from just words.

Crash Course Biology on Youtube should have an episode on Protein Synthesis or on RNA and the nucleic acids
There are also various animations online that show the process.

hope this helps

I honestly don't remember much about this and I'm sure someone else will answer more thoroughly for you but I believe it is the "<span>messenger". It carries instructions from DNA to conrol the synthesis of proteins</span>

What was a conclusion that Mendel drew from the F2 generation of this cross?
Ber [7]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

That parental traits that were not observed in the F1 reappeared in the F2.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Mendel accounted for the observation that traits which had disappeared in the F1 generation reappeared in the F2 generation by proposing that traits can be dominant or recessive, and the recessive traits were obscured by the dominant ones in the F1.
  • <em>I</em><u><em>t was important that Mendel examined not just the F1 generation in his breeding experiments, but the F2 generation as well, because parental traits that were not observed in the F1 reappeared in the F2.</em></u>

What first spurred research into what has now become green building?
Ghella [55]
San Francisco has an opportunity to reap tremendous economic, environmental, and health benefits by adopting recent advances in “green building”—benefits that will only increase in value over time. Many standard building design, construction, operation, and renovation practices are outmoded, inefficient, costly, and have adverse health and economic effects. The shift to new, environmentally sensitive practices would maintain San Francisco’s status as a leader in urban planning and environmental innovation. A shift to green buildings is also vital to enhancing San Francisco’s livability for its residents, workers, and visitors.

Which of these acts as a second messenger? which of these acts as a second messenger? cyclic amp g protein adenylyl kinase g-pro
forsale [732]

Answer;

Cycilc AMP

Explanation;

-Second messengers are molecules that relay signals received at receptors on the cell surface; such as the arrival of protein hormones, growth factors, etc., to target molecules in the cytosol and/or nucleus.

-Many of the chemical messengers such as hormones, that transmit messages from one cell to another never enter the target cell, these molecules are known as first messengers which work by binding to a specific receptor on the cell surface. The receptor then stimulates or inhibits the production of a so-called second messenger within the cell.

-The second messenger are small molecules such as Cyclic AMP, which activate an effector within a cell.
