​Who can tell me the 3 types of RNA?

​3 types

• ​mRNA

• ​tRNA

• ​rRNA

mRNA​ (Messenger RNA)

• ​mRNA is made in the Nucleus!

• ​mRNA reads DNA and copies the information into a THREE-BASE code word called Codons

• ​mRNA takes this information and moves it to the cytoplasm where proteins are made.

​

​3 bases = 1 Codon

​|TGA| |GUC|

​1 Codon = 1 Amino Acid

Multiple Choice

THREE bases = ONE _____

• Codon

• Genome

• Thing
