The Role of RNA in Protein Synthesis
What is RNA?
What is RNA?
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a nucleic acid found in all living cells that is structurally similar to DNA.
RNA, with exception of DNA, is typically single-stranded. Unlike DNA, the backbone of an RNA molecule is made of interchanging phosphate groups and sugar ribose, rather than deoxyribose.
It is classified into three types: mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA. Each of these serves a specific purpose.
The function of mRNA is to serve as a template for protein, whereas the function of rRNA is to become a ribosome. Thus, C is the correct answer.
