Messenger RNA (mRNA)
Carries genetic information from the DNA to the ribosome where proteins are synthesized.
Transfer RNA (tRNA)
Transports the correct amino acids to the ribosome for protein assembly.
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
Combines with proteins to form ribosomes, which serve as the site of protein synthesis.
Small nuclear RNA (snRNA)
Plays a role in mRNA processing, specifically in splicing where introns are removed and exons joined.
