DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What kind of RNA makes a ribosome?
A
mRNA
B
tRNA
C
rRNA
D
siRNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ribosomal RNA is transcribed from ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and then bound to ribosomal proteins to form small and large ribosome subunits. rRNA is the physical and mechanical factor of the ribosome that forces transfer RNA (tRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) to process and translate the latter into proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -ribosomal RNA (rRNA), molecule in cells that forms part of the protein-synthesizing organelle known as a ribosome and that is exported to the cytoplasm to help translate the information in messenger RNA (mRNA) into protein.

Detailed explanation-3: -rRNAs are found in the ribosomes and account for 80% of the total RNA present in the cell. Ribosomes are composed of a large subunit called the 50S and a small subunit called the 30S, each of which is made up of its own specific rRNA molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the large and the small subunit, both of which consist of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules and a variable number of ribosomal proteins. Several factor proteins catalyze different steps of protein synthesis by binding transiently to the ribosome.

Detailed explanation-5: -The RNA found in ribosomes, the molecules responsible for catalysing protein synthesis, is known as ribonucleic acid (rRNA).
