Nucleic Acids and the Genetic Material Problem Set 1

Problem 9: Problems on transcription

Three types of RNA involved in comprising the structural and functional core for protein synthesis, serving as a template for translation, and transporting amino acid, respectively, are:
A mRNA, tRNA, rRNA

B rRNA, tRNA, mRNA

C tRNA, mRNA, rRNA

D tRNA, rRNA, mRNA

E rRNA, mRNA ,tRNA

rRNA's serve a structural and functional role in protein synthesis as a component of the ribosome. The transpeptidation reaction has been shown to be caused by rRNA. mRNA is transcribed from DNA to be used as a template for protein synthesis. The tRNAs bring the correct amino acid into the protein synthesis process.
