Ribosomal RNA

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a type of RNA molecule present in the ribosomes of cells. It plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, assisting in the translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) into protein.

Usage:

• Noun: Ribosomal RNA is an integral component of ribosomes, aiding in the production of proteins in cells.
• Adjective: The ribosomal RNA sequence is essential for understanding the evolutionary relationships between different species.

Examples:

1. The ribosomal RNA guides the assembly of amino acids into proteins.
2. Scientists analyze the ribosomal RNA to study the genetic diversity of organisms.
3. During translation, the ribosomal RNA decodes the genetic information carried by mRNA.
