The three main types of RNA

Back

Messenger RNA (mRNA), Ribosomal RNA (rRNA), Transfer RNA (tRNA)

Front

The role of messenger RNA (mRNA)

Back

mRNA carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

The role of ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

Back

rRNA forms the core of the ribosome's structure and catalyzes protein synthesis.

Front

The role of transfer RNA (tRNA)

Back

tRNA brings amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.
