DNA and RNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is usually called the blueprint of life. Deoxyribose is a monosaccharide that has a key function in the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid. One less oxygen-containing hydroxyl group occurs in deoxyribose sugar. Nucleic acid, d…
DNA as the Genetic Material
DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a long polymeric nucleic acid molecule discovered in the late 1930s. It is a polymer; a long chain-like molecule made up of several monomers connected in a sequence. It possesses certain characteristics that qualify it a…
Genetics
The significant branch in science which involves the study of genes, gene variations, and the organism's heredity is known as genetics. It is also used to study the involvement of a gene or set of genes in the health of an individual and how it prevents …
DNA Replication
The mechanism by which deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is capable of producing an exact copy of its own is defined as DNA replication. The DNA molecules utilize a semiconservative method for replication.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

Function of mRNA, tRNA and rRNA.

Introduction:

A nucleic acid is a chemical compound that represent macromolecules made up of nucleotides and contains the genetic information of a cell. It is used to code the proteins in the biological system. It is mainly of two types, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).

Explanation of Solution

mRNA, tRNA and rRNA are different types of RNA that have following functions:

mRNA: it is a molecule formed complementary to one strand of the DNA and carries the information for the translation process.

rRNA is the molecule that forms the component of ribosome and participate in the translation process.

t RNA act as a carrier molecule of the amino acid based on the codon in the process of translation.
