As in the DNA, the mRNA which contains the genetic information is in sequence of the nucleotides, <u>that are arranged into the codons which consists of three base pairs each.</u>
<u>Codon with three base pairs encodes for a specific amino acid (except stop codons). </u>
The process of the translation of the codons into the amino acids requires two types of RNA which are:
Transfer RNA (tRNA) : It is the RNA which mediates the recognition of codon and provides corresponding amino acid.
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA): It is the RNA which is the central component of ribosome's protein.
