Chapter 13.1, Problem 1CC

a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

Whether this class of RNA is correctly paired with its function: Small nuclear RNA $\left(\text{snRNA}\right)$: processes $\text{rRNA}$.

Introduction:

There are three major class of cellular RNA: $\text{mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA}\text{.}$ Messenger RNA transcribes the genetic code from DNA into a form that can be used to make proteins. Ribosomal RNA is present in the cytoplasm of a cell where ribosomes are found. Transfer RNA transfers amino acids to the ribosome that further corresponds to each three-nucleotide codon of $\text{rRNA}$

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

Whether this class of RNA is correctly paired with its functions: transfer RNA $\left(\text{tRNA}\right)$ attaches to an amino acid.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

Whether this class of RNA is correctly paired with its function: MicroRNA $\left(\text{miRNA}\right)$ carries information for the amino acid sequence of a protein.

Introduction:

There are three major class of cellular RNA: $\text{mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA}\text{.}$ Messenger RNA transcribes the genetic code from DNA into a form that can be used to make proteins. Ribosomal RNA is present in the cytoplasm of a cell where ribosomes are found. Transfer RNA transfers amino acids to the ribosome that further corresponds to each three-nucleotide codon of $\text{rRNA}$

d.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

Whether this class of RNA is correctly paired with its function: Ribosomal RNA $\text{(rRNA)}$: carries out RNA interference.
