Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

mRNA (messenger RNA) is the molecule that transfers genetic information from the nucleus, where DNA is located, to the cytoplasm, where proteins are synthesized. DNA is the genetic material that contains the instructions for making proteins, but it is too large to move out of the nucleus. tRNA (transfer RNA) and proteins are involved in protein synthesis, but they do not transfer information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Lipids are not directly involved in genetic information transfer or protein synthesis.
