Question

What are the three different types of RNA?

Short answer

Protein synthesis requires three different forms of RNA. Messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA are the three types of RNA (rRNA)

Step-by-step solution

Introduction

There are three types of RNA.

(1) Ribonucleic acid (r RNA)

(2) RNA messenger (m RNA)

(3) RNA transfer (t RNA)

Explanation

• The instructions are sent from the nucleus to the cytoplasm via messenger RNA (mRNA).
• Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA), the other two types of RNA, are important in the process of arranging amino acids to produce proteins.
