What are the differences between mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA?
How does each type of RNA contribute to protein synthesis?
During protein synthesis, the genetic code in mRNA is read by the ribosome, which uses tRNA to match specific amino acids to the corresponding codons in the mRNA. The ribosome then links these amino acids together to form a polypeptide chain, which folds into a functional protein. rRNA plays a critical role in this process by catalyzing the formation of peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids.
