Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type(s) of RNA is(are) involved in protein synthesis?
A
transfer RNA only
B
messenger RNA only
C
ribosomal RNA and transfer RNA only
D
messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis. They are messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). rRNA forms ribosomes, which are essential in protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Transfer RNA (tRNA) tRNAs are an essential component of translation, where their main function is the transfer of amino acids during protein synthesis. Therefore, they are called transfer RNAs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transcription is the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA).

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
