RNA (blogg 14)

RNA is also known as Ribonucleic Acid. RNA is made up of a long chain of nucleotides. The nucleotide sequence allows RNA to encode genetic information. Unlike DNA, RNA is a single helix. Some RNA molecules play an active role in cells by catalyzing biological reactions like proteins. RNA can be considered an enzyme because of this. There are different types of RNA and they all have a different uses. For example mRNA helps during protein synthesis and tRNA delivers amino acids to the ribosome. DNA and RNA are similar in that they both have sugar ribose and they have three of the same bases.
