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>

How are the structures of compact and spongy bone different? How are they similar?
GalinKa [24]

Compact bone is the outer layer that is packed together very tightly. This is mainly for support & balance. The spongy bone is strung together loosely and looks like *no surprise here* a sponge. This helps create blood cells & other bodily garbage.

Where does your organism live? Describe its habitat.
Simora [160]
Habitat, place where an organism or a community of organisms lives, including all living and nonliving factors or conditions of the surrounding environment. A host organism inhabited by parasites is as much a habitat as a terrestrial place such as a grove of trees or an aquatic locality such as a small pond.

Genetically engineered bacteria are being developed to produce alternative fuels.
Ahat [919]

The right answer is True.

Thanks to several genetic manipulations, a bacterium has been transformed into a plant exclusively dedicated to the production of biofuel. The microorganism expelling the precious fatty acid out of the cell, this synthetic route circumvents the expensive step of extraction and purification.

The production of this fuel faces several problems. It must achieve sufficient production rates to meet the demand for biofuel while being competitive with oil.
