rRNA , or ribosomal RNA, makes up over half of ribosome (around 2/3) and is involved in translating mRNA to proteins. 

rRNA 

tRNA or transfer RNA, brings amino acids to ribosomes to assemble them into proteins

tRNA 

- messenger RNA
- these nucleotide sequences lead protein sequence after being transcribed from DNA
