Question

What is the smallest RNA?

Short answer

Transfer RNA (tRNA) is the smallest RNA which involves in translation process. during translation tRNA read the information present on the MRNA molecule and brings the amino acid to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Step-by-step solution

Introduction

Nucleic acids were organic macromolecules that can be located all over a cell. They were detected in cell nuclei for the very first time. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) were nucleic acids present throughout all known forms of life. Replication is a natural process during which cells duplicate the DNA molecule in the same way. The strands of a original DNA molecule split during replication to enable complementary DNA strands to be produced.

Explanation

The tiny RNA in the translation process which is known as transfer RNA (tRNA). During translation, tRNA reads data from the MRNA molecule and then passes the amino acid to a ribosome for protein synthesis.
