how is it differentiated from dna?
Unlike DNA, their structures do not consist of long double helices, but rather collections of short helices packed together into structures akin to proteins
RNA
Unlike DNA, their structures do not consist of long double helices, but rather collections of short helices packed together into structures akin to proteins.
describe how the three types of rna work together to form protein Protein synthesis uses transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules to deliver amino acids to the ribosome, where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) then links amino acids together to form coded proteins what is the full form of that abbreviation? Ribonucleic acid what is the definition of it? UNANSWERABLE is it present in human cells or in some viruses? UNANSWERABLE what is its structure? Each nucleotide in RNA contains a ribose sugar, with carbons numbered 1' through 5' and a base is attached to the 1' position

RNA [SEP] Comparison with DNA
Like DNA, most biologically active RNAs, including mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, snRNAs, and other non-coding RNAs, contain self-complementary sequences that allow parts of the RNA to fold and pair with itself to form double helices. Analysis of these RNAs has revealed that they are highly structured. Unlike DNA, their structures do not consist of long double helices, but rather collections of short helices packed together into structures akin to proteins. In this fashion, RNAs can achieve chemical catalysis (like enzymes). For instance, determination of the structure of the ribosome—an RNA-protein complex that catalyzes peptide bond formation—revealed that its active site is composed entirely of RNA.
