mRNA has a linear structure and carries genetic information copied from DNA.tRNA has an L shaped 3D structure. It is specific to each amino acid and carries an amino acid to the growing chain of a polypeptide during the translation process.
1. What is tRNA?
tRNA is a small RNA molecule that helps in the synthesis of proteins. Each of the tRNA molecules has two sites: an anticodon region and a region fo...
2. What is rRNA?
rRNA helps in the synthesis of proteins in an organelle called the ribosome. This is further exported to the cytoplasm to translate the genetic inf...
3. What is mRNA? What is the Function of mRNA?
mRNA is a single-stranded RNA molecule that is complementary to either one of the DNA strands of a gene. It is moved from the cell nucleus to the c...
