Informational Rna (Noun)
Meaning
The template for protein synthesis; the form of RNA that carries information from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosome sites of protein synthesis in the cell.
Classification
Nouns denoting substances.
Examples
- Messenger RNA is a type of informational RNA that plays a crucial role in the transfer of genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.
- The process of transcription involves the production of informational RNA from the DNA template, which then carries the genetic information to the site of translation.
- Informational RNA, in the form of mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA, serves as the template for protein synthesis by providing the necessary instructions for the assembly of amino acids into a polypeptide chain.
- During translation, the sequence of nucleotides in the informational RNA is used to assemble the corresponding amino acids into a protein.
- The synthesis of informational RNA is initiated by the binding of RNA polymerase to the promoter region of a gene, which then transcribes the genetic information into a complementary RNA molecule.
