in biotechnology, what do you mean by rna?

Answer 1

it's like DNA, only not.

=/

Answer 2

rybonucleic acid. It has many roles in the cell. Think of DNA as the original blue prints for the building of the organism, like your body for instance. Well RNA is what the contractor sends out to the building site instead of the original blue print, which he wants to keep nice and pretty and in one whole piece. RNA is sent out of the cells nucleus as copies of DNA to be processed mostly outside of the nucleus. There are different kinds of RNA. There is mRNA (messenger) which brings the coded message to ribosomes which then translate that message into the construction of a protein. There is rRNA (ribosomal) which is what those ribosome are made of. There is tRNA which carries the amino acids from within the cell to the ribosome and pairs codons to anticodons in the ribosome and thus helps build polypeptides. Its a fascinating world, enjoy.

Answer 3

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a nucleic acid polymer consisting of nucleotide monomers. RNA nucleotides contain ribose rings and uracil unlike deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which contains deoxyribose and thymine. It is transcribed from DNA by enzymes called RNA polymerases and further processed by other enzymes. RNA serves as the template for translation of genes into proteins, transferring amino acids to the ribosome to form proteins, and also translating the transcript into proteins.

Answer 4

That's a pretty brief question.

The first thing the come to the mind of this chemist is "Mass Analyzer, which today is used synonymously with mass spectrometer.
