Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is the RNA molecule that carries the genetic information from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosome in the cytoplasm, where it serves as a template for protein synthesis. Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries amino acids to the ribosome during translation, and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a component of the ribosome itself. Small subunit RNA (ssRNA) is not involved in protein synthesis in this way.
