Question
Chapter 23.4, Problem 23SSC
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The relation of the structure of RNA to its function is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The function of ribonucleic acid is to convert the genetic code into amino acids which determine and carry out different functions in the cell.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 23SSC
The structure of RNA is a double helix which creates its stability, so that it is able to translate the genetic data easily via the nitrogenous base modification and direct the synthesis of proteins using translation.
Explanation of Solution
The three-dimensional structure of RNA is necessary for its stability and function. This structure allows the ribose sugar and the nitrogenous bases to get modified in number of ways with the help of cellular enzymes attaching chemical groups (e.g., methyl groups) to the chain. This helps in the synthesis of different types of proteins essential for the normal functioning of a cell.
