Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RNA plays the most active role in protein manufacture as it carries the genetic information from DNA to ribosomes where proteins are synthesized. DNA provides the genetic code, but RNA is the actual carrier of the information and directs the synthesis of proteins. Genes are segments of DNA that code for proteins, but they do not play an active role in protein manufacture themselves. Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA, but they do not actively participate in protein manufacture.
