You have three types of RNA
Three types (numbers) of RNA Polymerases which can be easily remembered by remembering the sequence of events
- rRNA (ribosomal RNA) is most abundant (R = Rampant)
- tRNA (transfer RNA) is the smallest (T = Tiny)
- mRNA (messenger RNA) the only translated RNA and is the longest one (M = Massive)
Three types (numbers) of RNA Polymerases which can be easily remembered by remembering the sequence of events
- First you have to make the ribosomes so RNA Polymerase I makes rRNA in the nucleolus (all except, see below)
- Second you have to transcribe the DNA message so RNA Polymerase II makes mRNA in the nucleoplasm.
- Third you have to bring the amino acids for translation so RNA Polymerase III makes tRNA in the nucleoplasm.
