What is the role of RNA

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>

The amount of ozone and particle concentrations in a given area are influenced by a variety of weather-related factors, therefore the weather can have a significant impact on air quality.

<h3>What influences the air's quality?</h3>

The quality of the air is influenced by a variety of climate-related elements, including temperatures, cloud cover, humidity, precipitation frequency and intensity, wind patterns, and others.

In India, more than 90% of people live in areas where the air quality is below WHO limits. The biggest sources of pollution are factories, coal-fired power plants, and automobiles.

The dna-containing region of this bacterial cell is indicated by the letter _____.

alexandr402 [8]

Answer: D(nucleoid region)

Explanation:

In the diagram below the irregular shaped, supercoiled region, without a membrane, labelled D, surrounded by the cytoplasm of the cell is the nucleiod region that contains the main DNA in bacterial.

The nucleoid region in the prokaryotic cell contains the main DNA material. The nucleoid which means nucleus-like contains the main genetic material in prokaryotic cell, some satellite DNA are found in plasmid is other parts of the cell. Unlike the nucleus of eukaryotic cells the nucleiod lacks a cell membrane. The nucleiod has an irregular shape, and has a circular chromosome.
