C)mRNA
D)rRNA
E)tRNA

Question

During protein synthesis in eukaryotes, mRNA passes from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and contains the sequence of codons that specify the sequence of amino acids in the new polypeptide. DNA is transcribed into mRNA, but it remains in the nucleus. RNA polymerase is involved in transcription but is not directly involved in protein synthesis. rRNA and tRNA are both involved in translation, but they do not carry the specific sequence of amino acids needed to create the new polypeptide.
