RNA (Ribose Nucleic Acid) plays important role in transcription and translation. There are three different types of RNA, each having specific functions.

1. mRNA: Messenger RNA is produced during transcription from the single stranded DNA strand that carries the message from DNA template for protein synthesis.

2. rRNA: Ribosomal RNA is used for the synthesis of ribosomes that are used in the process of protein synthesis (translation).

3. tRNA: Transfer RNA also plays an important role during protein synthesis by adding the right amino acids corresponding to the code on the primary transcript.

Further explanation

Basically RNA makes up 5-10% of the dry weight of cells. There are two main groups of RNA that make up living things, namely genetic RNA and non-genetic RNA.

  • Genetic RNA

Genetic RNA has the same function as DNA, which is a genetic molecule that is overall responsible for carrying all genetic material, such as that of DNA. In other words, this RNA functions as DNA. This genetic RNA is only owned by certain living things that do not have DNA, as in some types of viruses.  

  • Nongenetic RNA

Nongenetic RNA is RNA that does not act as DNA. Nongenetic RNA is owned by living things whose genetic material is regulated by DNA. In this group of living things, their cells have DNA and RNA.

Based on the location and function, non-genetic RNA can be divided into three types, namely ambassador RNA, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA.

  1. Ambassador RNA or "messenger RNA" (mRNA) is a single band of nucleic acid and is the largest or longest RNA that acts as a polypeptide-forming molding pattern. The main function of mRNA is to carry genetic codes from DNA to the ribosome. mRNA also functions as a template for protein synthesis.
  2. Transfer RNA (tRNA) is the shortest RNA that acts as a codon translator from mRNA. In addition, tRNA functions to bind amino acids which will be arranged into proteins and transport them to ribosomes. In tRNA there are parts associated with codons called anticodons and parts that function as binders of amino acids.
  3. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is the largest amount of RNA and is a constituent of ribosomes. This RNA is single, unbranched, and flexible. More than 80% of RNA is rRNA. The function of rRNA is still unknown, but it is thought to have an important role in the process of protein synthesis.
