<span>There are three RNAs with a role in the synthesis of protein.</span>

mRNA, or messenger RNA, is the link between a gene and a protein. The main role of this ribonucleic acid is in transcription (”reading“) of DNA. The DNA is transcribed by RNA polymerase, and the resulting product of this process is mRNA. This form of RNA can be modified post-transcriptionally with methylguanosine caps and polyadenosine tails. RNA carries the genetic information which is copied from DNA and the information has a form of three-base code (“words”), codons. Each of these codons specifies a particular amino acid.

tRNA or transfer RNA is the molecule with the main function in translation by "decoding" the mRNA message during this process. Each type of amino acid has its own type of tRNA and also has a three-base sequence (anticodon) that can bind complementary with the codons in the mRNA.

rRNA or ribosomal RNA is a main component of ribosomes. rRNA associates with a set of proteins to form ribosomes which catalyze the assembly of amino acids into polypeptide chains (protein).

 

<span>There are also a few more types of RNA which have a regulatory function like, microRNA or siRNA.</span>

What is a difference between systemic and pulmonary circulation
serious [3.7K]

<u>Answer</u>:

The difference between systemic and pulmonary circulation is the Systemic circulation carries the blood between to the heart and body and the pulmonary circulation carries blood  between the lungs and the heart.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Circulation of blood is of two types:  

The systemic circulation and The pulmonary circulation.  

The Systemic circulation carries the oxygenated blood from heart to the body through the arteries (aorta) and also carries back the deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart through veins (superior vena cava) and pulmonary circulation carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs from the heart and from the lungs to the heart.

In Pulmonary circulation the pulmonary artery is used to carry the deoxygenated blood to the lungs and the pulmonary vein is used to carry oxygenated blood to the heart from the lungs.
