Main Information:
*RNA stands for Ribonucleic Acid
While I was learning about RNA, I learned about a lot of different things that I didn't know. First off I learned that DNA consists of one strand of DNA ad one strand of RNA, which creates all of the different genes and traits that we have. It is a long chain with molecules on it that consist of nucleotides. A nucleotide contains a nitrogenous base, a phosphate, and a ribose sugar. RNA is very vital when it comes to human beings. If you don't have RNA or you have a little amount then you might have weird traits and genes which make you unable to do things or even maybe have a disease. Also that RNA comes in different shapes and sizes, as long as it is connects to DNA and nucleotides it will be fine for making different traits and genes. The sugar phosphate is the base of the RNA and nucleotides are connected to the base and all of the makes up the RNA molecule. RNA is different from DNA because, DNA can't come in different shapes and sized, but RNA as you know can. Ribose sugar which is on the RNA molecule is more reactive because of the bonds that are on it. Lastly the main function of RNA is to transfer the genetic code for the process of proteins to be created.
