Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the role of different types of RNA in protein synthesis. mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA each have distinct functions.
mRNA (messenger RNA) is responsible for carrying the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.
Learn about codons, which are sequences of three nucleotides on mRNA that correspond to specific amino acids or stop signals during translation.
tRNA (transfer RNA) is involved in bringing the correct amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis, matching its anticodon with the mRNA codon.
rRNA (ribosomal RNA) is a component of ribosomes and plays a role in catalyzing the assembly of amino acids into protein chains.
