Does Your normal mmr affect ranked mmr?

I know mmr is like a hidden ranking that matches you up with similar players of your ranking, and recently, I've been playing a lot with my friend who's gold. I was wondering, does this raise my mmr only in normals, or does it apply to ranked as well? In the future, if I play a normal game solo, would I be matched with people in a higher elo than i am?

Nope. Ranked and Normal matchmaking never share MMR. Your duo and solo Normal MMR is the same thing though; if you win a bunch of games with your friend, it's raising your personal MMR that is no different from queueing alone.

No, they are different, hence the awkward "but we're silvers and bronzes and we got matched against full diamond team" moments.
