A
- small non- coding RNA 21-25 bp
- post transcription gene regulators
- bind to mRNAs , to degrade or inhibit translation
2
Q
What is the function of rRNA?
A
- forms the core of ribosomes structure and catalyses protein synthesis
3
Q
What is the function of tRNAs?
A
- serve as adaptors between mRNA and amino acids during protein synthesis
4
Q
What are the functions of other non-coding RNAs?
A
used in RNA splicing, gene regulation, telomere maintenance and other processes
