Question
Chapter 14.5, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The functions of rRNA (ribosomal RNA) in the ribosome.
Introduction:
There are three main types of ribonucleic acid (RNA). These are the rRNA, mRNA (messenger RNA), and tRNA (transfer RNA). The mRNA codes for the genetic information, tRNA, and rRNA are involved in the translation of mRNA template into proteins.
