RNA Flashcards
(12 cards)
mRNA (full name & # of bases)
messenger ribonucleic acid 100-300 or <1000
tRNA (full name & # of bases)
transfer ribonucleic acid 75-95
rRNA (full name & # of bases)
ribosomal ribonucleic acid 28 S- 4700 18 S- 1900 5.8 S- 160 5 S - 120
snRNA (full name & # of bases)
small nuclear ribonucleic acid 100-200 or < 300
mRNA (function)
carries a copy of the Sequence of Nucleic Acid Bases from the DNA to the Ribosomes, Where the Sequences are Translated into a Series of Linked Amino Acids to form Proteins
mRNA (definition)
is a Class of RNA molecules which carries a copy of the Sequences of Nucleic Acid Bases from the DNA to the Ribosomes, Where these Sequences are Translated into a Series of Linked Amino Acids to form Proteins
rRNA (function)
Combines with Proteins to form Ribosomes, which are the site of Protein Synthesis
rRNA (definition)
this Series of RNAs Combine with Proteins to form Ribosomes
tRNA (function)
Series of RNA molecules which are Charged with an Amino Acid by the Appropriate tRNA synthetase Protein and which carry that Activated amino amino acid to the ribosomes. Once there the appropriate tRNA binds to the mRNA via the Anti-Codon Loop and Transfers the activated amino acid to the growing Polypeptide Chain.
tRNA (definition)
a Series of RNA molecules, composed of 75-95 nucleotides, which are Charged with an Amino acid by the Appropriate tRNA synthetase Enzyme and which carry the Activated Amnio acid to the Ribosome.
snRNA (function)
some Combine with Proteins to form complexes, called Splicesomes, which remove Introns from eukaryotic mRNA
snRNA (definition)
this is a Series of RNA molecules raining in size from about 100 to 300 nucleotides long.
