List-I RNA type

List-II Role/function

(A) mRNA

(III) Provides a template

(B) tRNA

(IV) Reads the genetic code

(C) rRNA

(II) Structural and catalytic role during translation

(D) RNA Polymerase

(I) Initiates transcription

(A) mRNA: Messenger RNA (mRNA) serves as the template for protein synthesis. It carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.

(B) tRNA: Transfer RNA (tRNA) is responsible for carrying amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis. In protein synthesis, amino acids are attached to the 3' end of tRNA. This end has a specific sequence that provides a binding site for the amino acid. tRNAs are specific for each amino acid. The anticodon site on the tRNA, which is separate from the 3' end, is responsible for recognizing the corresponding codon on the mRNA during translation.

(C) rRNA: Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) plays a structural and catalytic role in the ribosome during translation. It helps in the formation of the peptide bonds between amino acids.

(D) RNA polymerase is an enzyme responsible for transcription, the process of synthesizing an RNA molecule from a DNA template.
