1. 3 Types of RNA

2. mRNA Messenger RNA Facts: Function:
uses DNA as template
single stranded
U replaces T
largest RNA molecule
Function:
mRNA is used to carry the genetic code from the nucleus to the ribosomes

4. tRNA Transfer RNA Facts:
On one end of the tRNA a specific amino acid attaches.
On the other end is a sequence of three base pairs called the anticodon, the complement of the codon on the mRNA.
Function:
tRNA bonds to amino acids and it is used in the synthesis of proteins

6. Ribosome

7. rRNA Ribosomal RNA Facts: Function: A component of ribosomes
The small subunit of a ribosome contains an rRNA strand (1542 nucleotides long)
The larger subunit contains two strands of rRNA (one 2904 nucleotides in length and the other 120).
Function: A component of ribosomes
