Whats the job of RNA?

Question

I cant find any information about its job

Answer 1

The oversimplification that we learn in biology is, "DNA makes RNA makes protein."


Essentially that's right. RNA is assembled in the cell as a "template" for making proteins, and proteins run absolutely everything in the body. RNA is put together more or less against the base pairs on the DNA strand, then it is used by the cell to make proteins out of the amino acids you eat. It's pretty important stuff.

Of course, in a virus, it's a little different, because the virus has only DNA or RNA, but not both. As a result, we're really not quite sure how a virus can be alive, though obviously it manages.

However it does that, a virus enters a cell, hijacks it's RNA-making machinery, and then makes the cell make copies of itself. Then it breaks out of the cell, usually killing it.

But in you, you use RNA to make proteins.

Answer 2

Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a class of short-chain, non-coding ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules in which each variety attaches to and transfers a specific amino acid to a polypeptide chain at the ribosomal site of protein synthesis during translation. As non-coding RNA, tRNA itself is not translated into a protein, but it does serve to transport amino acids for incorporation into proteins, using the chemical blueprint for the protein product provided by messenger RNA (mRNA), as derived from the DNA genes.

Answer 3

If its the function of RIBONUCLEIC ACID then there are three main kinds of ribonucleic acid, each of which has a specific job to do.

Ribosomal RNAs-exist outside the nucleus in the cytoplasm of a cell in structures called ribosomes. Ribosomes are small, granular structures where protein synthesis takes place. Each ribosome is a complex consisting of about 60% ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and 40% protein.

Messenger RNAs-are the nucleic acids that "record" information from DNA in the cell nucleus and carry it to the ribosomes and are known as messenger RNAs (mRNA).

Transfer RNAs-The function of transfer RNAs (tRNA) is to deliver amino acids one by one to protein chains growing at ribosomes.

Answer 4

How crude "the job"

The function of Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) is to transfer amino acids to the ribosome to form proteins.
