11. Briefly describe the function of the following in protein synthesis: a. rRNA b.tRNA c.mRNA Solution The functions of the following in protein synthesis are - 1. rRNA : Ribosomal RNAs are mainly associated with ribosomes whose primary function is protein synthesis. rRNAs can be subdivided into large and small subunits of ribosome. These make up the complex structure of the ribosomes. 2. tRNA : Transfer RNAs mainly function as carriers which transfer an amino acid to its corresponding ribosome. This results in the formation of proteins. 3. mRNA - Messenger RNAs are translated by ribosomes to form proteins. It is formed by using DNA as its template. The genetic information present in DNA is copied into it in form of codons. These codons are specific for different types of amino acids..
