1
New cards

Messenger RNA (mRNA)

Convey genetic information from DNA to ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where they specify the amino acid sequence of the protein - it is synthesized from DNA template during transcription

2
New cards

Transfer RNA (tRNA)

Single RNA strand - carries a specific amino acid sequence on one end and a specific anticodon on the other end. The anticodon base pairs with a complementary codon on mRNA. It helps cell translate an mRNA message into protein

3
New cards

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

Structural and catalytic roles in ribosomes

4
New cards

Telomerase RNA

Used as a template by telomerase to extend telomeres

5
New cards

Small nuclear RNA (snRNA)

Structural and catalytic roles in spliceosomes

6
New cards

SRP RNA

A component of the SPR (signal-recognition protein) - a protein-RNA complex that recognizes the signal peptide of polypeptides targeted to the ER
