|
|
mRNA gets a copy of DNA through the process of transcription in the nucleus and then carries that copy out of the nucleus to the ribosome to begin the process of translation.
|
|
|
tRNA is found in the cytoplasm and has a single amino acid attached to it and carries the amino acid to the ribosome so that it may put together in a very specific order to create a functional protein.
|
|
|
rRNA makes up the structural part of the ribosome which serves as the site for protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-1: -mRNA (messenger RNA): it provides the template for protein synthesis during translation. tRNA (transfer RNA): it brings amino acids and reads the genetic code during translation. rRNA (ribosomal RNA): it plays a structural and catalytic role during translation.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are three types of RNA: mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA. mRNA is the intermediary between the nucleus, where the DNA lives, and the cytoplasm, where proteins are made. rRNA and tRNA are involved in protein synthesis. Additional RNAs are involved in gene regulation and mRNA degradation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Each of the three types of RNAs performs unique functions and have different structures. mRNA provides a template for gene coding during protein synthesis, tRNA carries the amino acids to the ribosomes, which has to be added to the polypeptide chain and rRNA forms ribosomes along with proteins.
