RNA

• RNA works with DNA to play a role in the synthesis of polypeptides (primary protein structure) within cells
• There are three types of RNA: messenger RNA (mRNA) transfer RNA (tRNA) ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
• RNA is a single-stranded structure made up of a repeating series of nucleotides. The RNA strand is comprised of a ribose sugar-phosphate backbone consisting of the nitrogenous bases A, U, G, and C
