What dose mRNA stand for

Messenger RNA

What dose mRNA do

Carries a copy of DNA code from the nucleus to the ribosome

A bit about mRNA

mRNA is transcribed from DNA in the nucleus and translated into proteins by ribosomes in the nucleus

A bit more

Each triplet base of the mRNA molecule is called a codon and codes for a specific amino acid.

What dose rRNA stand for

Ribosomal RNA

Defonishon

Protein forms the ribosome

What dose tRNA stand for

Transfer RNA

Definishon

Carries a specific amino acid to the ribosome

More about tRNA

tRNA has an anticodon, the anticodon on the tRNA is completely to the codon on the mRNA

More

Folds due to complementary base pairing (week hydrogen bonds between bases)

What are differences between DNA and RNA

DNA - dubble stranded, deoxyribose sugar, C-G A-Thiamine

RNA - signal stranded, ribose sugar, C-G A-Uracil
