Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The role of ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
Introduction:
The rRNA is responsible for protein synthesis in the organisms. Proteins are the major structural part of almost every type of organisms found in the nature. Study of nucleotide sequence of rRNA plays a vast role in categorizing the organism and placing them in the taxonomy accordingly.

Write the base sequence for the strand of mRNA transcribed from the original strand of DNA or template strand. Remember transcribing means making mRNA from DNA. Write the amino acid sequence translated from this mRNA. Translating means making an amino acid chain from mRNA.

A DNA molecule is single-stranded and is composed of phosphate and two nitrogenous bases (thymine and cytosine) that follow complementary base pairing rules T-C. A DNA molecule is double-stranded and is composed of sugar, phosphate, and four nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine) that follow complementary base pairing rules A-T and C-G. A DNA molecule is single-stranded and is composed of sugar and four nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine) that follow complementary base pairing rules A-G and C-T. A DNA molecule is double-stranded and is composed of sugar and two nitrogenous bases (adenine, and guanine) that follow complementary base pairing rules A-G.arrow_forwardDraw a stylized diagram of double-stranded DNA. Use a pentagon for sugar, a circle for phosphate and a square for bases. Label each base A, T, C or G. Show two pairs of nucleotides connected via hydrogen bonds (use all 4 letters). Show the polarity of each strand and clearly indicate the number of hydrogen bonds in each pair of nucleotides. Draw a solid-line circle around a nucleotide.
