Study Notes
Central Dogma
- The process of DNA → RNA → protein is known as the central dogma.
Types of RNA
- mRNA (messenger RNA) encodes the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide.
- tRNA (transfer RNA) brings amino acids to the ribosomes during translation.
- snRNA (small nuclear RNA) is involved in eukaryotic RNA processing, specifically in the splicing of mRNA.
Transcription
- Only one of the two DNA strands is transcribed into an RNA during transcription.
- Transcription produces mRNA as part of gene expression.
Ribosomes
- rRNA (ribosomal RNA) along with ribosomal proteins makes up the ribosomes.
RNA Molecules
- The four main types of RNA molecules are: mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, and snRNA.
- miRNA (microRNA) is not one of the four main types of RNA molecules encoded by its own type of gene.
