Ribonucleic acid or RNA is a kind of essential nucleic acid present in the cells of the living beings. The main function of the RNA is to carry the information present in the coded form in amino acid sequence obtain from the genes to produce protein molecules. The amino acid sequence gets assembled on the ribosome brought about by the messenger RNA (mRNA) each amino acid sequence encodes for a typical protein molecule. A single strand of DNA acts as a blueprint for the synthesis of mRNA which is transcribed from the strand of DNA.
