While everyone else has suggested particular keybindings for these, I'd
like to suggest that you consider using CUA mode, which provides such
bindings and many more. Quoting from the "CUA Bindings" page of the
Emacs manual:

,----
| The command `M-x cua-mode' sets up key bindings that are compatible
| with the Common User Access (CUA) system used in many other
| applications.  `C-x' means cut (kill), `C-c' copy, `C-v' paste (yank),
| and `C-z' undo.  Standard Emacs commands like `C-x C-c' still work,
| because `C-x' and `C-c' only take effect when the mark is active (and
| the region is highlighted).  However, if you don't want to override
| these bindings Emacs at all, set `cua-enable-cua-keys' to `nil'.
| 
|    In CUA mode, using `Shift' together with the movement keys activates
| and highlights the region over which they move.  The standard
| (unshifted) movement keys deactivate the mark, and typed text replaces
| the active region as in Delete-Selection mode (*note Graphical Kill::).
