for each of the following statements, indicate whether the statement describes messenger rna (mrna), transfer rna (trna), or ribosomal rna (rrna).
75 to 95 nucleotides long; folds as a cloverleaf to carry amino acids choose
forms a major part of the ribosome and participates in protein synthesis choose
dictates the sequence of amino acids in a protein choose

Explanation:

• tRNA: Transfer RNA is typically 75 - 95 nucleotides long and folds into a cloverleaf - like structure. Its main function is to carry amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.
• rRNA: Ribosomal RNA forms a major part of the ribosome (along with proteins). The ribosome, with rRNA playing a crucial role, is the site of protein synthesis.
• mRNA: Messenger RNA is transcribed from DNA. It contains the genetic code (in the form of codons) that dictates the sequence of amino acids in a protein.

Answer:

1. transfer RNA (tRNA)
2. ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
3. messenger RNA (mRNA)
