The RNA copy of DNA that leaves the nucleus and travels to the cytoplasm to make proteins is:
A)ribosomal RNA
B)tRNA
C)mRNA
D)RNA polymerase

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The RNA copy of DNA that leaves the nucleus and travels to the cytoplasm to make proteins is mRNA (messenger RNA). Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA) are involved in the process of protein synthesis, but they are not the RNA copy of DNA that travels to the cytoplasm to make the proteins. RNA polymerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of RNA from DNA, but it is not the RNA that travels to the cytoplasm.
