The predominant cells in blood are the red blood cells (RBC) which contains a protein called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the principal determinant of the color of blood. Arterial blood and capillary blood are bright red, as oxygen imparts a strong red color to the heme group.
Concept 21 RNA is an intermediary between DNA and protein. DNA is found mostly in the cell nucleus, but another type of nucleic acid, RNA, is common in the cytoplasm. Watson and Crick proposed that RNA must copy the DNA message in the nucleus and carry it out to the cytoplasm, where proteins are synthesized. Crick also predicted the existence of an adaptor molecule that reads the genetic code and selects the appropriate amino acids to add to a growing polypeptide chain.
1 rRNA is located in the cytoplasm of a cell, where ribosomes are found. 2  rRNA directs the translation of mRNA into proteins. 3  tRNA or Transfer RNA. 4  Like rRNA, tRNA is located in the cellular cytoplasm and is involved in protein synthesis.nswer: There are actually several types of ribonucleic acid or RNA, but most RNA falls into one of three categories: 1  mRNA or Messenger RNA. 2  mRNA transcribes the genetic code from DNA into a form that can be read and used to make proteins.
