RNA: STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION 39 DNA vs. RNA 40 Major types of RNA • Ribosomal RNAs: they are part of ribosomes, which are small granular organelles where protein synthesis takes place. – Each ribosome is a complex consisting of about 60% ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and 40% protein • Messenger RNAs (mRNA) carry information transcribed from DNA. They are formed in the cell nucleus and transported out to the ribosomes. • Transfer RNAs (tRNA) are smaller RNAs that deliver amino acids one by one to protein chains growing at ribosomes. 41
