Question

At least three types of RNA are required for protein synthesis. Compare and contrast mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA by moving the descriptions of their structure and function to the appropriate categories. Some phrases may describe all three types of RNA mRNA RNA RNA mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA has an anticodon that interacts with a specific codon acts as an enzyme for peptide synthesis in eukaryotes, can exist outside composed of ribonucleic acid the nucleus from another molecule moves genetic information moves amino acids to the site of contains nucleotide triplets that code for specific amino acids out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasmprotein synthesis

Explanation / Answer

mRNA

1. Moves genetic information out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm.

2. Contain nucleotide triplet that code for specific amino acids.

rRNA

1. Acts as an enzyme for peptide synthesis.

2. In eukaryotes can exist outside the nucleus.

tRNA

1. has an anticodon that interacts with a specific codon from another molecule.

2. Moves amino acid to the site of protein synthesis.

mRNA, rRNA, tRNA

1. Composed of ribonucleic acid.
