mRNA

Carries instructions for building a polypeptide, from gene in DNA to ribosomes in cytoplasm, and is the RNA that is fed through the ribosome.

2
New cards

tRNA

Binds to amino acids and pairs with bases of codons of mRNA at ribosome to begin process of protein synthesis; responsible for transporting the amino-acid to the ribosome.

rRNA

Structural component of ribosomes; responsible for the formation of the ribosome itself.
