Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: The most abundant RNA in animal cells is rRNA.
Detailed explanation-2: -The rRNA is the largest and most abundant RNA in bacterial and archaeal cells. It is also one of the best-characterized RNAs in terms of its structural motifs and sequence variation. Production of ribosome components including >50 ribosomal proteins (r-proteins) consumes significant cellular resources.
Detailed explanation-3: -rRNA was once known to be the key structural component of ribosomes, but its actually found to be a catalytic element for protein synthesis. It is the most abundant type of RNA (about 80%) in the cell. rRNA is comprised of a large and small subunit.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ribosomal RNA also called rRNA provides the site for protein synthesis.It forms 80% of the total RNA content of a cell and hence is the most abundant RNA.
Detailed explanation-5: -The most abundant form of RNA is rRNA or ribosomal RNA because it’s responsible for coding and producing all of the proteins in cells. rRNA is found in the cytoplasm of cells and is associated with ribosomes.
