Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries genetic information from the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where it is used as a template for protein synthesis. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA) are also involved in protein synthesis, but do not carry genetic information from the nucleus. Primary mRNA transcript is the initial RNA molecule transcribed from DNA, which undergoes processing to become mature RNA. Mature RNA refers to the processed RNA molecule that is ready for translation, but it does not carry genetic information from the nucleus.
