What is RNA

This video tutorial explains the roles of DNA and RNA in cells. DNA serves as the blueprint containing instructions for cell growth, function, and replication, while RNA carries out these instructions by transferring the genetic code to produce proteins. The video highlights the differences between DNA and RNA, such as DNA being double-stranded and RNA single-stranded, and the presence of uracil in RNA instead of thymine. It also covers RNA's role in protein synthesis, including mRNA and tRNA functions, and discusses RNA's enzymatic capabilities and its role in viruses.
