Which molecule is synthesized as a copy of a gene on the DNA template strand?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is synthesized as a copy of a gene on the DNA template strand during transcription. The mRNA carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosomes, where it is translated into a protein. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA) are also involved in protein synthesis but are not synthesized as copies of a specific gene. Primer RNA and ribozymes are not involved in transcription or translation.
