Expert Solution
Step 1

Functional RNA refers to a class of RNA molecules that are transcribed from DNA and have specific biological functions within the cell. Unlike messenger RNA (mRNA), which carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis, functional RNAs have non-coding roles in regulating gene expression and other cellular processes. Examples of functional RNA include transfer RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), small nuclear RNA (snRNA), microRNA (miRNA), and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), among others. These RNA molecules have diverse functions and are involved in processes such as translation, splicing, RNA editing, RNA interference, and epigenetic regulation.
