The information for a gene on a chromosome is used to create ____ which then moves to the ribosome to serve as a template for protein synthesis.
A)tRNA
B)rRNA
C)siRNA
D)mRNA

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

mRNA (messenger RNA) is the type of RNA that carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis. It is created during the process of transcription, where the DNA sequence is copied into mRNA. tRNA (transfer RNA) carries amino acids to the ribosome for protein synthesis, rRNA (ribosomal RNA) is an integral part of the ribosome structure, and siRNA (small interfering RNA) plays a role in gene regulation by interfering with mRNA translation.
