Question

Okay smartie pants, can you explain to me what RNA is?

Answer 1

RNA is short hand for Ribonucleic Acid. RNA has a similar structural appearance to DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid). You can read about the chemical structure at the site referenced below.



RNA crops up in several different cell locales from the nucleus to the ribosomes and appears to serve in a variety of cell roles. The basic function most often noted is that of a messenger or transfer template upon which proteins are built. The information for this construction comes from the DNA which unzips long enough for these RNA templates to be formed.



This is seriously cooked down discussion of a key chemical player in cellular dance of life. If you want to know more, I suggest a visit to your local library. The subject area you want is biochemistry or molecular biology.

Answer 2

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a nucleic acid polymer consisting of nucleotide monomers. RNA nucleotides contain ribose rings and uracil unlike deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which contains deoxyribose and thymine. It is transcribed from DNA by enzymes called RNA polymerases and further processed by other enzymes. RNA serves as the template for translation of genes into proteins, transferring amino acids to the ribosome to form proteins, and also translating the transcript into proteins.

History

Nucleic acids were discovered in 1869 by Johann Friedrich Miescher (1844-1895), who called the material 'nuclein' since it was found in the nucleus. It was later discovered that prokaryotic cells, which do not have a nucleus, also contain nucleic acids.



The role of RNA in protein synthesis had been suspected since 1939, based on experiments carried out by Torbjörn Caspersson, Jean Brachet and Jack Schultz.



The sequence of the 77 nucleotides of a yeast tRNA was found by Robert W. Holley in 1964, winning Holley the 1968 Nobel Prize for Medicine.

Answer 4

I would answer, but I fear that it's a scam. Well, that, and I don't know the answer. It would be foolish for anyone to select an secret question that they don't know the answer to, now and forever. I can imagine someone would want a secret answer just so they would have free reign on someone else's account, or to steal it altogether. I have an actual problem. The e-mail address I used when setting up my account in 1999 is now an address I no longer use. I went to change something, and it asked me to enter in my e-mail address. I went for the address that's currently primary on my account, and it was rejected. I tried the secondaries, and they didn't work. I finally tried the one that I used originally, and I'll be darned if it worked, though it's nowhere on my account any more.... Hey, maybe I'll ask that. Sorry I couldn't help your friend more. I wonder why the Y! staff doesn't step in.

Answer 5

RNA is ribonucleic acid.

In both plant and animal cells, they are present freely floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum.

They synthesize proteins.

Answer 9

Chemical proteins are made from, similar to DNA.

Answer 10

here is the answer,,, RNA --- IT STANDS FROM RIBO NUCLIC ACID ... ITS IS PRESENT IN OUR DNA . THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DNA AND RNA IS THAT IT DIFFERES ONLY IN ONE SUGAR GROUP,,,THAT IS URACIL IN RNA AND THYAMINE IN DNA ....IT IS A GENETIC MATERIAL, PRESENT IN OUR BODY WHICH CARRIES OUT GENETIC OUTPUT , TRANSLATION AND TRANSCRIPTION PROCESS IN OUR BODY ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
