Where is RNA found?

Question

what are your sources too please

choices are found is nucleus found in cytoplasm or found in both... i know it is cytoplasm but i think it is in nucleus too

Answer 1

There are essentially 3 types of RNA available in our body; mRNA, tRNA, rRNA.

mRNA can be found in the ribosome or the cytoplasm.
tRNA can be found also in the ribosome or the cytoplasm
rRNA is your ribosome.

RNA genes are genetic material of some microorganisms such as retroviruses. They are found in the nucleus (if they have one) or in the protein coat that protects the genetic material.

Answer 2

There are three types of RNA:

1) Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) which is found in the cell's ribosomes, the specialized structures that are the sites of protein synthesis).

2) Transfer RNA (tRNA) which carry amino acids to the ribosomes for incorporation into a protein, would be found in the cytoplasm.

3) Messenger RNA (mRNA) these carry the genetic blueprint copied from the sequence of bases in a cell's DNA. This blueprint specifies the sequence of amino acids in a protein. All three types of RNA are formed as needed, using specific sections of the cell's DNA as templates. These are never found free in the cell, they are bound by cations and proteins called ribonucleoproteins.

Answer 3

RNA is created in the nucleolus and can be found throughout the cell. It is used in many things such as transcription, translation, replication, and other cell functions.

Answer 4

Only rRNA is made in the nucleolus. mRNA is made in the cytoplasm, on ribosomes and the RER.

Answer 5

mRNA - Nucleus (nucleoplasm) and Cytoplasm
tRNA - cytoplasm
rRNA - ribosomes
