1
New cards

Messenger RNA (mRNA)

Complementary to DNA, carries messages to ribosomes for protein synthesis

2
New cards

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

Binds with proteins to make ribosomes

3
New cards

Transfer RNA (tRNA)

Transports amino acids to the ribosomes

4
New cards

Transcription (DNA to RNA)

DNA unwound, RNA polymerase makes a RNA strand complementary to the DNA one (5’ to 3’), mRNA leaves the nucleus and heads to the ribosomes

5
New cards

RNA processing

Happens in nucleus, mRNA is shorter than DNA - introns = sequences that are chopped out of the RNA, extrons = sequences that remain in RNA

6
New cards

Translation (RNA to proteins)

*Codons = 3-base code
