RNA

Description

RNA

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a molecule that helps cells carry out essential functions, including protein synthesis. RNA plays a crucial role in transferring genetic information from DNA to the parts of the cell responsible for building proteins. Unlike DNA, which is double-stranded, RNA is sing...

Transcript

DNA stays securely locked away in the nucleus, while proteins are made in the cytoplasm. So, how does DNA pass on its instructions from the nucleus to the cytoplasm to create proteins?

It sends a messenger called Ribonucleic acid, or RNA, which carries these instructions from the nucleus to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.
