Summary Introduction
To determine: The type of RNA and its functions, and fill in the blanks in the given table.
Concept introduction:
Some of the genes in a cell are transcribed into RNA and express themselves in the form of proteins. After transcription, primary transcript is formed. There are four types of RNA each playing its role during transcription and translation.

Complete the following table:
Type of RNA
Functions
Transfer RNA (tRNA)
In a ribosome, plays a structural role;as a ribozyme, plays a catalytic role(catalyzes peptide bond formation)
Primary transcript
Small RNAs in the spliceosome
Indicate which of the following items are associated with transcription or translation. This could be in prokaryotes or eukaryotes, or both.
Group of answer choices: Translation OR Transcription
Sigma binds to the promoter
mRNA binds to the small ribosomal subunit
Spliceosomes remove introns and splice together exons
Nucleotides are added from the 5' to 3' end
tRNA anticodon binds to the corresponding mRNA codon
STOP codon results in termination
Fill out the following table for the type of RNA that fits with the description.
There are three main types of RNA, each of them has a specific role within the cell. The following table provides a list of statements in the left-hand column describing each of those three main types. In the right-hand column, select which type of RNA each statement describes.
The choices for Type of RNA are:
