RNA:

  • Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is also a polymer of nucleotides.
  • The pentose sugar of RNA has -OH group at C-2.
  • It is also a polynucleotide chain wherein the nucleotides are linked with each other via the phosphodiester bond.
  • Unlike DNA, it is single-stranded and more reactive.
  • RNA contains uracil as one of the pyrimidines rather than the thymine. 
  • RNA acts as genetic material in some viruses.
  • In the majority of the living organisms, the following types of RNA molecules are present:
  • mRNA or messenger RNA carries the message from DNA and forms the polypeptide chain along with the ribosomes.
  • Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a major constituent of ribosomes on which the mRNA binds.
  • Transfer RNA (tRNA) is one of the smallest of the three types of RNA, usually 70–90 nucleotides long. It carries the correct amino acid to the site of protein synthesis.
