Understand that RNA stands for ribonucleic acid, which plays a crucial role in coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes.
Recognize that there are three main types of RNA involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA).
Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) helps decode mRNA sequences into proteins by bringing amino acids to the ribosome during translation.
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a component of ribosomes, which are the sites of protein synthesis in cells.
