what is the order from most abundant to the least ? mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA?

i think the oder is rRNA>mRNA>tRNA.

is that right?

I'm not sure, but if I were to guess I would have guessed the exact opposite. tRNA>mRNA.>rRNA

I agree with you. You need abundant amounts of rRNA to make ribosomes, without which translation would not occur. mRNA codes for proteins that need to be synthesized everyday to stay alive. tRNAs are conserved in numbers since they can recognize more than 1 type of codon. :D
 
It is actually rRNA followed very closely by tRNA and last is mRNA. I just learned this in biochem.

rRNA>tRNA>>>mRNA
