Introduction to Types of RNA definitions Flashcards

A molecule that carries genetic instructions from DNA to the ribosome, where it guides protein synthesis.

A cellular structure that facilitates the assembly of amino acids into polypeptide chains during protein synthesis.

RNA that binds to and transports amino acids to ribosomes for polypeptide synthesis during translation.

A type of RNA that forms the core of ribosome's structure and catalyzes protein synthesis.

Genetic material in mitochondria, inherited maternally, crucial for energy production and cellular respiration.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is the RNA molecule that carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where it serves as a template for protein synthesis.

A molecule that carries genetic instructions from DNA to the ribosome, where it specifies the amino acid sequence of the protein products.
