Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

mRNA (messenger RNA) is the molecule that carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes, where it serves as the template for protein synthesis. rRNA (ribosomal RNA) and tRNA (transfer RNA) are involved in different aspects of protein synthesis, but neither of them carries the "blueprint" for protein synthesis. RNA polymerase is an enzyme that helps transcribe DNA into RNA, but it is not directly involved in carrying the genetic information to the ribosomes.
