Question

types and functions of rna

match the types of rna with the statements that most accurately describe them to test your understanding of the different types of rna and their basic functions in genetic expression.

1. transcribed version of a structural gene or genes in dna
2. contains the anticodon and an amino acid binding site
3. forms a complex cellular structure that contributes to the process of translation

Explanation:

Match statement 1 to its RNA type

The transcribed version of a structural gene or genes in DNA that carries the genetic code to the ribosome is messenger RNA (mRNA).

Match statement 2 to its RNA type

The RNA molecule that contains the anticodon loop and a specific amino acid binding site is transfer RNA (tRNA).

Match statement 3 to its RNA type

The RNA molecule that combines with proteins to form the physical structure of the ribosome, which catalyzes translation, is ribosomal RNA (rRNA).
