Question
m-RNA, t-RNA and r-RNA.

Answer

m-RNAt-RNAr-RNA.
1. m-RNA is a simple molecule which shows linear structure without any folds.1. t-RNA is a single stranded molecule. There is regular pattern of folding shown by this molecule.1. r-RNA is a single stranded RNA that is variously folded upon itself. In the folded regions it shows complementary base pairing.
2. It performs the function of transcription during protein synthesis.2. It performs the function of transferring the amino acids during translation.2. This RNA remains associated with the ribosomes permanently. It gives the binding site for m-RNA during the process of protein synthesis. It also orients the m-RNA molecule so as to read the message on codons properly.
3. Of the total cellular RNA, m-RNA forms 3-5%.3. Of the total cellular RNA, t-RNA forms about 10-20%.3. Of the total cellular RNA, r-RNA forms 80%
4. It has molecular weight of about 5,00,000.4. t-RNA is the smallest RNA having only 73-93 nucleotides and has molecular weight of about 23,000 to 30,000 daltons.4. Molecular weight is about 40,000 to 100,000 daltons
