RNA: DNA's little sidekick
To the Batmobile Robin! Just kidding, anyway, hey and welcome back to my geniune blog post.:) Today we are going to be talking about RNA and how it can help the body cells. First of all, what RNA( short for Ribonucleic acid) is is a very unique molecule whose roll is to act as the messenger for the organelles of the cell and DNA and controls the protein synthesis.

RNA can be found anywhere. They can even live inside of viruses and bacteria and can be found inside every single living organisms. Like that insect for example.

Why RNA is extremely important is because it carries genetic information from DNA and transfers it to the ribosomes. The process known as protein synthesis is very vital. Once the RNA transfers the genetic information to the ribosomes, the ribosomes start creating proteins which are vital to our growth.

Also, a ribosome is an organelle that is made out of RNA. The main function of ribosomes are when the mRNA comes in, the ribosomes translates mRNA to a sequence of amino acids. After that, they finally produce proteins.

There are three types of RNA. messenger RNA, translator RNA, and ribosome RNA. What the messenger RNA does is it leaves the nucleus and gives the ribosome the code or the recipe to make proteins.the tRNA helps translates the codes for the mRNA when they can't understand it. rRNA is just found in the ribosomes and is what the ribosomes are made out of.
Well see ya later.
