The first is transfer RNA or tRNA, which transport amino acids to the ribosome during translation (protein synthesis).

The second is messenger RNA or mRNA, which is produced during transcription and carries the coding sequence for a gene to be translated into a peptide.

The last is ribosomal RNA or rRNA, which, along with proteins, make up the ribosome, the site of protein synthesis.
