RNA (ribonucleic acid) is a single-stranded nucleic acid. This molecule is involved in protein synthesis. There are several types of RNA: mRNA: This is messenger RNA, which serves as a code for proteins. It does this by carrying information in what are called “codons” or a “triplet code” that is specific for a particular amino
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a complex molecule that expresses, stores, and replicates all of the genetic information that is contained in eukaryotic cells. This genetic information is responsible for all the characteristics expressed in a particular species (e.g., color, size, and gender). In addition to physical characteristics, information pertaining to behavior and intelligence is also
