Question

for the following discussed rna types, complete the missing information in the boxes below. some boxes have been filled in for you. type: mrna 13. type: 14. type: stands for: stands for: stands for: 15. 16. transfer rna sketch to help you remember: sketch to help you remember: sketch to help you remember: 17. 18. general function: general function: general function: 19. 20. transfers amino acids to area of protein synthesis.

Explanation:

• mRNA stands for messenger RNA. Its general function is to carry genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.
• The sketch for mRNA could be a long, thin strand (representing the linear sequence of nucleotides carrying the message).
• rRNA stands for ribosomal RNA. It is a major component of ribosomes (along with proteins) and is involved in the catalytic activity (peptide bond formation) during protein synthesis.
• tRNA (already given as Transfer RNA) has a clover - leaf - like structure (which can be a sketch to remember it).

Answer:

1. Type: rRNA
2. Type: tRNA
3. Stands for: messenger RNA
4. Stands for: ribosomal RNA
5. Sketch to Help You Remember: A long, thin strand (representing the linear mRNA molecule)
6. General Function: Carries genetic information from DNA to ribosome for protein synthesis
7. General Function: A major component of ribosomes (along with proteins) and involved in peptide bond formation during protein synthesis
