Remembering my Yr 12 Biol, RNA is
ribos nuclaeic acid and has a similar (but different) function to DNA ie
it holds a series of instructions to do
stuff.

Hi Spud,
RNA (ribonucleic
acid) is involved in the decoding of information stored in DNA
(deoxyribonucleic acid) and using this information to assemble proteins in
the ribosomes. There are three major types of RNA classified depending on
their function: mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA) and
rRNA(ribosomal RNA). If you want more info on the functions of the
different types I (or someone else) can give it to you, but it gets pretty
technical. Just ask if you do want it though.
