RNA (ribonucleic acid) is a highly complex mol-
ecule consisting of a single strip of consecutive
nucleotides. Working together with DNA, it
plays a role in protein synthesis. Different RNA
molecules are used for different tasks:
1) Messenger RNA (mRNA): This molecule
carries the coded genetic information in
DNA to the protein synthesis mecha-
nism.
2) Ribosomal RNA (rRNA):
This a molecule accelerates pro-
tein production by attaching to the
ribosomes' structure.
3) Transporter/Transfer RNA
(tRNA): These RNA molecules are
responsible for carrying amino ac-
ids to the ribosome during protein
rRNA production.
